R. Thirumurugan et al., Intramolecular N-H -pi(phenyl) and intermolecular C-H -pi(phenyl) interactions in 5-amino-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenyl-7-piperidino-1,6-naphthyridine-8-carbonitrile-benzene (2/1), ACT CRYST C, 55, 1999, pp. 1522-1524
The structure of the title compound, C27H25N5O . 0.5C(6)H(6), has been dete
rmined from X-ray diffraction data. The compound crystallizes from benzene
in the triclinic system, space group <P(1)over bar >, with two molecules in
the asymmetric unit. The naphthyridine ring system is almost planar and th
e six-membered piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. Intramolecular
N-H ...pi interactions are observed in the system with an N ...pi (phenyl c
entroid) distance of 3.619 (3) Angstrom, and C-H ...pi interactions between
the naphthyridine molecule and the solvent are also observed.
