Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 100 K; mean (C-C) = 0.004 Å; R factor = 0.029; wR factor = 0.061; data-to-parameter ratio = 19.8.In the title compound, C 18 H 14 BrNO, the naphthalene ring system [maximum deviation = 0.015 (3) Å ] forms a dihedral angle of 67.70 (10) with the benzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds into C(4) chains propagating in [100]. A C-HÁ Á ÁO interaction reinforces the chain connectivity, generating an R 2 1 (6) loop.
