Crystal structure of 1-(2-fluorobenzoyl)-2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the compound, C19H15FO3, contains two independent molecules. Each molecule has essentially the same feature of non-coplanarly accumulated aromatic rings whereby the aroyl group at the 1-position of the naphthalene ring system is twisted almost perpendicularly to the ring system [dihedral angles of 86.52 (8) and 89.66 (8)°]. In the crystal structure, molecules of the same conformer are stacked into columns parallel to theaaxis by van der Waals interactions only.
