In the title compound, C19H15ClO3, the dihedral angle between the naphthalene ring system and the benzene ring is 72.06 (7)°. The 4-chlorophenyl group and the carbonyl group are almost coplanar. An intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond is formed between an H atom of the 4-chlorophenyl group and the O atom of one methoxy group, forming a zigzag chain along the a axis.

To a solution of 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride (77 mg, 0.44 mmol) and AlCl3 (64 mg, 0.48 mmol) in nitrobenzene (1.0 ml) was added a solution of 2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene (0.40 M in nitrobenzene, 1.0 ml, 0.40 mmol) drop-wise at 0 °C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 6 h at 0 °C and immediately poured into H2O (10 ml) and CHCl3 (5 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted with CHCl3 (3 × 5 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with aqueous 2 M NaOH (3 × 20 ml), brine (3 × 20 ml), and dried over MgSO4 for overnight. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the crude material was purified by recrystallization from hexanes to give the title compound as a colorless platelets (m.p. 394.5–394.8 K, yield 102 mg, 78%).

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. |

Recently we have reported the structure of 1,8-bis(4-chlorobenzoyl)-2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene (Nakaema et al., 2007), 2-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-3,6-dimethoxynaphthalene (Nakaema, Okamoto et al., 2008) and 1,8-dibenzoyl-2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene (Nakaema, Watanabe et al., 2008). As part of our ongoing studies on the formation reaction and structure of the aroylated naphthalene derivatives synthesis and crystal structure analysis of the title compound, (I), were performed. The title compound was prepared by electrophilic aromatic aroylation reaction of 2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene with 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride.
An ORTEPIII (Burnett & Johnson, 1996) plot of (I) is displayed in Fig. 1. In the molecule of (I), the interplanar angle between the benzene ring (C12—C17) and the naphthalene ring (C1—C10) is 72.06 (7)°. The carbonyl group and the 4-chlorophenyl group are almost coplanar [O1—C11—C12—C17 torsion angle = -4.4 (2)°].
In the crystal structure, the molecular packing of (I) is mainly stabilized by van der Waals interaction. The molecules of (I) are aligned consecutively in stacks along the a axis (Fig. 2). Adjacent 4-chlorophenyl groups are exactly parallel, and the perpendicular distance between these planes is 3.660 (1) Å (Fig. 3). Figure 4 shows the herring-bone packing of the naphthalene ring in the crystal. The crystal packing is additionally stabilized by intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonding between the methoxy oxygen and a hydrogen atom of the nearby 4-chlorophenyl group of the adjacent molecule (C13—H13···O3i; Fig. 2 and Table 1).
