3-Ethoxysalicylaldehyde (0.1 mmol, 16.6 mg) and 3-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid hydrazide (0.1 mmol, 20.2 mg) were dissolved in a methanol solution (20 ml). The mixture was stirred at reflux for 1 h and cooled to room temperature. After keeping the solution in air for a few days, colorless block-like crystals were formed.
H1A was located from a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. The rest of the H atoms were placed in calculated positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C–H distances of 0.93–0.97 Å, O–H distances of 0.82 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Ueq(O and methyl C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The compounds derived from the condensation reactions of aldehydes with primary amines are called Schiff base compounds (Schiff, 1864). Schiff base compounds and their metal complexes have attracted much interest for their wide applications, especially for their potential pharmacological and antitumor properties (Brückner et al., 2000; Harrop et al., 2003; Ren et al., 2002). In this paper, the preparation and crystal structure of the title compound, (I), is reported.
In the structure of (I) (Fig. 1), the naphthyl ring and 2-hydroxyphenyl methylidene hydrazide moiety are nearly coplanar with the dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the naphthyl ring is 8.5 (2) °; the torsion angles C13—C12—N2—N1 and N2—N1—C11—C1 are 3.5 (2) and 1.4 (2)°, respectively. The methoxy group is slightly twisted out of the plane of the phenyl ring with torsion angle C15—O4—C19—C20 being 13.1 (2)°. The molecules of (I) are linked through intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the b axis. The structure is further stabilized by intramolecular interactions N1—H1A···O1 and O3—H3···N2 (Table 1). All the bond lengths are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and comparable to the values observed in other similar compounds (Diao et al., 2008; Diao et al., 2007; Diao, 2007; Li et al., 2007; Huang et al., 2007).
