Deskripsi

The title compound [systematic name: 2-(benzyloxy)naphthalene], C17H14O, which is used as a sensitiser for thermal paper, has a twisted conformation with a dihedral angle of 48.71 (12)° between the phenyl ring and the naphthyl ring system. In the crystal, one molecule interacts with six neighbouring molecules via intermolecular C—H...π interactions to form a herringbone molecular arrangement.
