Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of N-(6-acetyl-1-nitronaphthalen-2-yl)-acetamide.

The title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₄, was obtained from 2-acetyl-6-aminonaphthalene through two-step reactions of acetylation and nitration. The molecule comprises the naphthalene ring system consisting of functional systems bearing a acetyl group (C-2), a nitro group (C-5), and an acetylamino group (C-6). In the crystal, the molecules are assembled into two-dimensional sheetlike structures by intermolecular N--H⋯O and C--H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis illustrates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from O⋯H/H⋯O (43.7%), H⋯H (31.0%), and C⋯H/H⋯C (8.5%) contacts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
