The title compound, C(26)H(18), consists of a benzene ring with meta-substituted 1-naphthalene substituents, which are essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.039 and 0.027 Å). The conformation is mixed syn/anti, with equivalent torsion angles about the benzene-naphthalene bonds of 121.46 (11) and 51.58 (14)°.

The title compound, C(23)H(19)FN(2)O(3)S, a fused-pyrimidine derivative, displays dihedral angles between the thia-zole ring and the benzene ring and substituted benzene ring of 7.10 (14) and 3.48 (12)°, respectively. The dihydro-pyrimidine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation. The olefinic double bond is in a Z configuration.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(24)H(23)NO, the phenyl ring makes dihedral angles of 81.53 (11) and 75.35 (12)°, respectively, with the methyl-substituted and the fused benzene rings. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 71.10 (10)°. There is an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond.

In the title compound, C(22)H(20)N(2)O(4), the central benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 3.2 (2) and 61.1 (1)° with the two outer substituted benzene rings. Intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds are formed by both hydroxyl groups.

The title compound, C(22)H(24)O(5), consists of two substituted benzene rings linked by an ethyl acrylate group. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 58.39 (7)°. The crystal packing is governed by two C-H⋯O inter-actions, one of which forms centrosymmetric dimers with a graph-set descriptor of R(2) (2)(18).

In the title compound, C(21)H(26)N(2)O(2), the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 73.47 (16)°. Strong intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds generate S(6) ring motifs. The substituted benzene rings are twisted around the central quaternary C atom in opposite directions, making a vault geometry.

The title compound, C(25)H(26)N(2)O(4), exists in an E conformation with respect to each azomethine link. The two phenol-substituted benzene rings are twisted away from the plane of the diimine benzene ring by dihedral angles of 27.25 (5) and 56.67 (5)°. The mol-ecular structure is stabilized by intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

In the title mol-ecule, C(17)H(11)Cl(2)N(3)O, the C=C bond connecting the triazole and 4-chloro-phenyl groups adopts a Z geometry. The dihedral angles formed by the triazole ring and the 4-chloro substituted benzene rings are 67.3 (1) and 59.1 (1)°. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 73.5 (1)°.

Substituted 1,4-diaza-1,3-butadienes with 2 equivalents of 1,4-naphthoquinone in presence of ethanol or benzene produce corresponding substituted bisindoletetrones via criss-cross cycloaddition reaction. The chemical structure was confirmed by elemental and spectral analysis. Biological activity against some micro-organisms was tested.

In the structure of the title compound, C(24)H(23)Br, the configuration about the double bond is E. The dihedral angles between the tert-butyl-substituted benzene ring and the unsubstituted and Br-substituted rings are 57.1 (2) and 78.2 (2)°, respectively. The methyl groups are disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are ca 0.8 and 0.2.
