To a solution of (4-chlorophenyl)(2-hydroxy-7-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl)methanone (313 mg, 1.00 mmol) in chloroform (5 ml) was added Br2 (161 mg, 1.01 mmol) drop-wise at 0 °C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at 0 °C, then poured into aqueous 2 M Na2S2O3 (10 ml). The precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration, and washed with several times with water. The crude material was purified by recrystallization from ethanol to give the title compound as a colorless blocks (m.p. 481.5–483.0 K, yield 333 mg, 85%).

All the H atoms could be located in difference Fourier maps. The OH hydrogen atom was refined, with a bond restraint [O—H = 0.82 (2) Å], and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O). The C-bound H atoms were subsequently refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.95 (aromatic) and 0.98 (methyl) Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

Recently, we have reported the crystal structures of 1-aroylated 2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene, 1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene (Mitsui, Nakaema, Noguchi, Okamoto & Yonezawa, 2008), (4-chlorophenyl)(2-hydroxy-7-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl)methanone (Mitsui, Nakaema, Noguchi & Yonezawa, 2008) and (4-chlorobenzoyl)(2-ethoxy-7-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl)methanone (Mitsui et al., 2009). As a part of our ongoing studies on the synthesis and crystal structure analysis of aroylated naphthalene derivatives, we prepared and analysed the structure of crystal of 1-bromo-8-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-7-hydroxy-2-methoxynaphthalene, (I). The title compound was prepared by electrophilic aromatic bromination reaction of (4-chlorophenyl)(2-hydroxy-7-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl)methanone with bromine.
An ORTEPIII (Burnett & Johnson, 1996) plot of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. In the molecule of (I), the interplanar angle between the benzene ring (C12–C17) and the naphthalene ring (C1–C10) is 82.18 (9)°. The C═O bond vector and the least-squares plane of the benzene ring are relatively coplanar [13.94 (16)°]. By contrast, the C═O bond vector and the least-squares plane of the naphthalene ring are twisted [60.91 (15)°]. The conformation of these groups are similar to that of 1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene. Intriguingly, in the compound (I), there is no intramolecular hydrogen bond in contrast with (4-chlorophenyl)(2-hydroxy-7-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl)methanone. This is presumably caused by release of the large steric repulsion brought about by the benzene ring and the bromo group in the naphthalene ring of (I).
In the crystal structure, the molecular packing of (I) is stabilized by van der Waals interactions. The 4-chlorophenyl groups interact with the carbonyl groups [H16···O1 = 2.63 Å] and the bromo groups [H16···Br1 = 3.04 Å] along the b axis, and interact with the naphthalene rings [Cl1···H4 = 2.93 Å, H17···H7 = 2.37 Å] along the a axis (Figs. 2 and 3). The carbonyl groups interact with the hydroxy groups [C11···H2O = 2.80 Å] and the naphthalene rings [O1···C3 = 3.205 (3) Å] along the b axis (Fig. 4). Additionally, the naphthalene rings of neighbouring molecules are nearly parallel, and the π systems of the C5–C10 ring (with centroid Cg) in the naphthalene group are exactly parallel. The perpendicular distance between these aromatic rings is 3.4653 (9) and 3.6483 (9) Å. The centroid–centroid distance between the parallel aromatic rings is 3.8014 (13) and 3.9823 (13) Å, and the lateral offsets are 1.563 and 1.596 Å, indicating the presence of a π–π interaction (Fig. 3). Moreover, the crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl oxygen and hydrogen atom of the hydroxy group and naphthalene ring of the adjacent molecule viz. O2—H2O···O1 and C3—H3···O1 (Fig. 4 and Table 1).
