The title compound, C26H20O·0.5C6H6, was obtained from condensation reaction of 2-naphthol, 4-methylbenzaldehyde and phenylmethanamine. The naphthyl ring system is orented at dihedral angles of 84.11 (1) and 19.33 (8)° with respect to the mean planes of the two benzene rings.

4-Methylbenzaldehyde (1.8 g, 0.015 mol) and phenylmethanamine (1.605 g, 0.015 mol) was added to 2-naphthol (2.16 g, 0.015 mol) without solvent under nitrogen. The temperature was raised to 120°C in one hour gradually and the mixture was stirred at this temperature for 12 h. The system was treated with 30 ml of ethanol 95% and cooled. The precipitate was filtered and washed with a small amount of ethanol 95%. The title compound was isolated using
(Petroleum ether: ethyl acetate-4:1). Single crystals suitable for X-ray were obtained from slow evaporation of a solution of the title compound in b enzeneat room temperature.H atoms bonded to O atoms were located in a difference map and refined freely. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(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 reaction of substituted phenols and aldehydes under controlled conditions has been used to build up supramolecular compounds, the most important ones being calixarenes (Gardiner & Raston et al. 1997, Gutsche & Nam et al. 1998). 2-Naphthol reacts with aromatic aldehydes to produce 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes, which could be used as anti-inflamatory agents. Here we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound. The asymmetric unit of the compound contains a benzene solvent molecule (Fig. 1). The bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al. 1987).
Rings of the two benzenes and naphthol are, of course, planar. The dihedral angles between rings A (C1–C10) and B (C12–C17), and between rings A and C (C21–C26), are 84.11 (1) and 19.33 (8), respectively. The orientation of ring B with respect to the mean planes of the two groups containing rings A and C, may be described by the dihedral angles of 84.11 (1) and 76.82 (2), respectively. The molecules are stabilized by intramolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonding (Table 1). Intermolecular attractions are only on the order of Van der Waals forces.
