In the title compound, C18H13ClFNO, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the chloro- and fluoro-substituted benzene ring and the naphthalene ring system is 60.5 (8)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a zigzag chain along [101].

Naphthalen-1-ylacetyl chloride (0.204 g, 1 mmol) and 3-chloro-4-fluoroaniline (0.145 g, 1 mmol) were dissolved in dichloromethane (20 mL). The mixture was stirred in presence of triethylamine at 273 K for about 3 h (Fig. 1). The contents were poured into 100 ml of ice-cold aqueous hydrochloric acid with stirring, which was extracted thrice with dichloromethane. Organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution and brine solution, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (I). Single crystals were grown from toluene by the slow evaporation method (M.P.: 421 K).
The N-bound H atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically with a distance restraint of N—H = 0.86 (2) Å. All of the remaining H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model, with C—H lengths of 0.95 Å (CH) or 0.99 Å (CH2). Isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.19-1.21 (CH) or 1.20 (CH2) times Ueq of the parent atom.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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. |

N-Substituted 2-arylacetamides are very interesting compounds because of their structural similarity to the lateral chain of natural benzylpenicillin (Mijin et al., 2006, 2008). Amides are also used as ligands due to their excellent coordination abilities (Wu et al., 2008, 2010). Crystal structures of some acetamide derivatives, viz., 2-(4-bromophenyl)-N-(2-methoxyphenyl)acetamide (Xiao et al., 2010), N-benzyl-2-(3-chloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (Davis & Healy, 2010), 2-(2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-7-yloxy)-N-(o-tolyl)acetamide (Li et al., 2010), N-benzyl-2-(2-bromophenyl)-2-(2-nitrophenoxy) acetamide (Li & Wu, 2010) and N-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(8-quinolyloxy)acetamide monohydrate (Wang et al., 2010) have been reported. In view of the importance of amides, we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), C18H13ClFNO.
In the title compound, C18H13ClFNO, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the chloro, fluoro substituted benzene ring and the naphthalene-1-yl ring is 60.5 (8)° (Fig. 2). Bond distances are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). Crystal packing is stabilized by N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 3 and Table 1).
