Crystal structure of (E)-2-[(2-bromo-3-pyridyl)methylidene]-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-one an
We published another paper in collaboration with Dr. Padgett and 2 undergraduate coauthors Morgan Moore and Andrew Goetz in Acta Crystallographica Section E.
The title compounds C17H14BrNO2 (I), and C17H15NO3 (II), were obtained from the reaction of 6-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one and 2-bromonicotinaldehyde in ethanol. Compound (I) was the expected product and compound (II) was the oxidation product from air exposure.
