1,6-Bis(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)naphthalene

Abstract

The title compound, C16H12O2, contains two prop-2-yn-1-yloxy groups attached to a naphthalene ring system at the 1- and 6-positions. The crystal packing includes an intermolecular C—H...π interaction between a terminal ethynyl H atom and an ethynyl group on a glide-related molecule and another interaction between an O-atom-linked methylene H and an ethynyl group of a different glide-related molecule.
