In the title compound, C18H14BrNO, the naphthalene ring system and the benzene ring form dihedral angles of 78.8 (2) and 19.7 (2)°, respectively, with the acetamide C—C(=O)—N plane. The naphthalene ring system forms a dihedral angle of 64.88 (19)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked via intermolecular bifurcated (N,C)—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating an R

1(6) ring motif, forming chains along the b axis.
In the title compound, C18H13Cl2NO, the naphthalene ring system and the benzene ring form dihedral angles of 74.73 (13) and 62.53 (16)°, respectively, with the acetamide grouping [maximum deviation = 0.005 (3) Å]. The naphthalene ring system forms a dihedral angle of 75.14 (13)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming C(4) chains propagating in [010]. The O atom also accepts two C—H⋯O interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
