2-(Naphthalen-1-yl)-4-(naphthalen-1-yl-methyl-idene)-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-one.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(24)H(15)NO(2), the oxazole ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 10.09?(4) and 6.04?(4)° with respect to the mean planes of the naphthalene ring systems, while the two naphthalene ring systems make a dihedral angle of 4.32?(3)°. Intra-molecular C-H?N hydrogen bonds link the oxazole N atom to the naphthalene ring systems. In the crystal, inter-molecular weak C-H?O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers. ?-? contacts between the oxazole and naphthalene rings and between the naphthalene ring systems [centroid-centroid distances = 3.5947?(9) and 3.7981?(9)?Å] may further stabilize the crystal structure. Three weak C-H?? inter-actions also occur.
