N′-[(1E)-(4-Fluoro­phen­yl)methyl­ene]-6-meth­­oxy-2-naphthohydrazide

The title compound, C19H15FN2O2, is a Schiff base which has been synthesized by a condensation reaction of 6-meth­oxy-2-naphthohydrazide and 4-fluoro­benzaldehyde. The mol­ecule is almost planar with the C=N double bond in a trans configuration. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds that link mol­ecules into chains running along the c axis. There are also weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds as well as C—H⋯π-ring inter­actions in the crystal structure
