4-(1-Naphthoxy)phthalonitrile

Abstract

The title compound, C18H10N2O, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The molecules are non-planar and the two independent molecules have different orientations. The dihedral angles between the least-squares planes of the naphthalene and the benzene ring in the independent molecules are 85.52 (3) and 73.40 (3) degrees.
