Crystal structure of benzyl 2-naphthyl ether, a sensitiser for thermal paper.

ABSTRACT: The title compound [systematic name: 2-(benz-yloxy)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 mol-ecule inter-acts with six neighbouring mol-ecules via inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions to form a herringbone mol-ecular arrangement.
