The compound (E)-N-((2-ethoxynaphthalen-1-yl)methylene)-2-ethylaniline was prepared by refluxing a mixture of a solution containing 2-ethoxy-1-naphthaldehyde (20,0 mg, 0,1 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml) and a solution containing 2-ethylaniline (12,12 mg, 0,1 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 hour under reflux. Single crystals of the title compound for x-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution (Yield 62%; m.p.376-378 K).
All H atoms bound to C atoms were refined using a riding model, with C-H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) for aromatic C atoms, C-H=0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) for methylene C atoms, and C-H=0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl C atoms. Restraints and constraints (ISOR, DFIX, DELU) were used in order to maintain a reasonable geometry and atomic displacement parameters for C17, C18 and C19 atoms.

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 > 2sigma(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. |

Schiff bases often exhibit various biological activities and in many cases were shown to have antibacterial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antitoxic properties (Lozier et al., 1975). Schiff bases have also been used as versatile ligands in coordination chemistry (Kargar et al., 2009; Yeap et al., 2009). In this paper, the structure of the title compound, is reported. An ORTEP-3 (Farrugia, 2012) plot of the molecule of (I) is shown in Fig.1. The geometric parameters in (I) are comparable with those in (E)-3-Chloro-N-[(2-ethoxynaphthalen -1-yl)methylidene]aniline (Vesek et al., 2012). The dihedral angle between the naphthalene ring and the benzene ring is 64.61 (6)°. The molecular structure is stabilized by a C9-H9···N1 intramolecular hydrogen bond which generates an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995).
