In the title compound, C22H14BrN3, the fused-ring system is buckled owing to the ethylene linkage in the central ring; the two flanking aromatic rings are twisted by 25.9 (1) ° with respect to each other. The phenyl ring is twisted by 77.0 (1)° relative to the amino- and cyano-bearing aromatic ring. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked by two N–H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating a zigzag chain along [101].

4-Bromobenzaldehyde (1.85 g,10 mmol), 1-tetralone (1.46 g, 10 mmol), malononitrile (0.66 g, 10 mmol) and ammonium acetate (6.2 g, 80 mmol) in absolute ethanol (50 ml) were heated for 6 h. The mixture was allowed to cool, and the precipitate was collected, washed with water, dried and then recrystallized from ethanol; m.p. 517–518.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C–H 0.95 to 0.99 Å, Uiso(H) 1.2–1.5Ueq(C)] and were included in the
in the riding model approximation. The amino H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and were refined freely.The
was refined from 482 Friedel pairs; although the Friedel coverage is low (27%), the was reliably refined owing to the heavy atom.2-Amino-4-aryl-5,6-dihydrobenzoquinoline-3-carbonitrile is synthesized from the reaction of the α-substituted cinnamonitrile, C6H5CH═C(CN)2, with α-tetralone in a reaction that is catalyzed by ammonium acetate. The synthesis when conducted under microwave irradiation leads to an improved yield. In previous studies, we obtained instead di-carbonitrile substituted dihydrophenanthrenes (3-amino-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-9,10- dihydrophenanthrene-2,4-dicarbonitrile and 3-amino-1-(2H-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)- 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-2,4-dicarbonitrile) with 4-methoxybenzaldehyde and piperonaldehyde in syntheses that differed slightly from the reported ones as we used substituted benzaldehydes, α-tetralone and ethyl cyanoacetate along with a molar excess of ammonium acetate (Asiri et al., 2011a; 2011b). The use of 4-bromobenzaldehyde furnishes the corresponding 4-bromophenyl analog (Scheme I, Fig. 1). The fused-ring system is buckled owing to the ethylene linkage in the central ring; the two flanking aromatic rings are twisted by 25.9 (1) °. Relative to the amino- and cyano-bearing aromatic ring, the phenyl ring is twisted by 77.0 (1) °. Adjacent molecules are linked by two N–H···N hydrogen bonds to generate a chain along [1 0 1] (Table 1).

2-Amino-4-aryl-5,6-dihydrobenzoquinoline-3-carbonitrile is synthesized from the reaction of the α-substituted cinnamonitrile, C6H5CH═C(CN)2, with α-tetralone in a reaction that is catalyzed by ammonium acetate. The synthesis when conducted under microwave irradiation leads to an improved yield. In previous studies, we obtained instead di-carbonitrile substituted dihydrophenanthrenes (3-amino-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-9,10- dihydrophenanthrene-2,4-dicarbonitrile and 3-amino-1-(2H-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)- 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-2,4-dicarbonitrile) with 4-methoxybenzaldehyde and piperonaldehyde in syntheses that differed slightly from the reported ones as we used substituted benzaldehydes, α-tetralone and ethyl cyanoacetate along with a molar excess of ammonium acetate (Asiri et al., 2011a; 2011b). The use of 4-bromobenzaldehyde furnishes the corresponding 4-bromophenyl analog (Scheme I, Fig. 1). The fused-ring system is buckled owing to the ethylene linkage in the central ring; the two flanking aromatic rings are twisted by 25.9 (1) °. Relative to the amino- and cyano-bearing aromatic ring, the phenyl ring is twisted by 77.0 (1) °. Adjacent molecules are linked by two N–H···N hydrogen bonds to generate a chain along [1 0 1] (Table 1).
