4-(Benzyloxy)phthalonitrile

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C15H10N2O, has two planar fragments. The phthalonitrile group forms a dihedral angle of 84.15 (8)degrees with the plane of the phenyl ring. The crystal structure is stabilized by one intermolecular hydrogen bond, two pi-pi interactions and one C-H...pi interaction.
