Experimental Crystal data

R factor = 0.040; wR factor = 0.092; data-to-parameter ratio = 13.7. In the title compound, C21H17NS, the C N double bond shows an E conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the naphthyl residue and the benzothiophene residue is 89.14 (6). The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C—H interactions, building a ribbon structure along the a axis. Related literatur
