4,4'-(Oxydimethyl-ene)dibenzonitrile.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(16)H(12)N(2)O, was accidentally synthesized by the reaction of 4-(bromo-meth-yl)benzonitrile and penta-erythritol. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 57.39 (9)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter-actions to form chains running parallel to the b axis.
