The title compound, C18H14N2O2, crystallized with two independent zwitterion molecules (A and B) in the They are both close to planar, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and naphthalene ring system being 4.30 (9)° in A and 4.69 (9)° in B. Each molecule has an E conformation with respect to the azo double bond. In each of the independent molecules, an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond forms an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming –A—A—A– and –B—B—B– chains parallel to one another and propagating along the a-axis direction. There are also π–π interactions between adjacent molecules involving benzene and naphthalene rings [centroid–centroid distance of 3.626 (3) Å for adjacent A molecules and 3.652 (3) Å for adjacent B molecules].

The title compound was synthesized according to the literature procedure used for the synthesis of other aromatic azo-compounds (Wang et al., 2003). Red prisms of the compound were obtained by slow evaporation at room temperature of a H2O/THF (1/1 v/v) solution of the title compound.
The NH H atoms were located in difference Fourier maps. In the final cycles of
they and the C-bound H atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: N—H = 0.86 Å, C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å for CH and CH3 H atoms, respectively, with Uiso(H)= 1.5Ueq(C-methyl) and = 1.2Ueq(N,C) for other H atoms.The azo dyes are by far the most important clas of dyes, accounting for over 50% of all commercial dyes, and having been studied more than any other class. Azo dyes contain at least one azo group (–N=N–) but can contain two (diazo), three(triazo), or more rarely, four (tetrakisazo) or more (polyazo). The azo group is attached to two groups, of which at least one, but more usually both are aromatic. They exist in the trans form with the bond angle vis.120°, about the sp2 hybridized N atoms. Almost without exception, azo dyes are made by diazotization of a primary aromatic amine followed by coupling of the resultant diazonium salt with an electron-rich
(Wang et al., 2003). We report herein on the of the title compound, obtained through the diazotization of 3-acetoaniline followed by a coupling reaction with 2-naphthol.The molecular structures of the two independent molecules (A and B) of the title compound are shown in Fig. 1. In both molecules the hydrogen atom of the OH group has been transfered to the N atom in the azo group to form a zwitterion. There are no significant differences in their structures. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and naphthalene ring system is 4.30 (9) ° in A and 4.69 (9) ° in the B. Each molecule has an E conformation with respect to the azo double bond. The torsion angle C11—N12—N13—C14 being 179.7 (2) ° in A, while in B the corresponding torsion angle C41–N42–N43–C44 is 179.2 (2)°. An intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond exists in each molecule (Table 1), forming an S(6) ring motif.
In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H···O hydrogen bonds forming –A—A—A– and –B—B—B– chains parallel to one another and propagating along the a axis direction. There are also π-π interactions between adjacent molecules involving benzene and naphthalene rings: Cg1···Cg3i = 3.626 (3) Å for adjacent A molecules [Cg1 and Cg3 are the centroids of the C2—C5/C10/C11 and C5—C10 rings; symmetry code: (i) x, y - 1, z] and Cg5···Cg7i = 3.652 (3) Å for adjacent B molecules [Cg5 and Cg7 are the centroids of the C32—C35/C40/C41 and C44—C49 rings; symmetry code: (i) x, y - 1, z].

Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs 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 azo dyes are by far the most important clas of dyes, accounting for over 50% of all commercial dyes, and having been studied more than any other class. Azo dyes contain at least one azo group (–N=N–) but can contain two (diazo), three(triazo), or more rarely, four (tetrakisazo) or more (polyazo). The azo group is attached to two groups, of which at least one, but more usually both are aromatic. They exist in the trans form with the bond angle vis.120°, about the sp2 hybridized N atoms. Almost without exception, azo dyes are made by diazotization of a primary aromatic amine followed by coupling of the resultant diazonium salt with an electron-rich nucleophile (Wang et al., 2003). We report herein on the crystal structure of the title compound, obtained through the diazotization of 3-acetoaniline followed by a coupling reaction with 2-naphthol.
The molecular structures of the two independent molecules (A and B) of the title compound are shown in Fig. 1. In both molecules the hydrogen atom of the OH group has been transfered to the N atom in the azo group to form a zwitterion. There are no significant differences in their structures. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and naphthalene ring system is 4.30 (9) ° in A and 4.69 (9) ° in the B. Each molecule has an E conformation with respect to the azo double bond. The torsion angle C11—N12—N13—C14 being 179.7 (2) ° in A, while in B the corresponding torsion angle C41–N42–N43–C44 is 179.2 (2)°. An intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond exists in each molecule (Table 1), forming an S(6) ring motif.
In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H···O hydrogen bonds forming –A—A—A– and –B—B—B– chains parallel to one another and propagating along the a axis direction. There are also π-π interactions between adjacent molecules involving benzene and naphthalene rings: Cg1···Cg3i = 3.626 (3) Å for adjacent A molecules [Cg1 and Cg3 are the centroids of the C2—C5/C10/C11 and C5—C10 rings; symmetry code: (i) x, y - 1, z] and Cg5···Cg7i = 3.652 (3) Å for adjacent B molecules [Cg5 and Cg7 are the centroids of the C32—C35/C40/C41 and C44—C49 rings; symmetry code: (i) x, y - 1, z].
