Crystal structure of 2-(4-fluoro-3-methylphenyl)-5-{[(naphthalen-1-yl)oxy]methyl}-1,3,4-oxadiazole

Abstract

The title compound, C20H15FN2O2, adopts an almost planar conformation. The oxadiazole ring makes dihedral angles of 13.90 (1) and 7.93 (1)° with the naphthalene ring system and benzene ring, respectively, while the naphthalene ring system and benzene ring are inclined to one another by 6.35 (1)°. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked via C—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [100]. There are also π–π interactions present [intercentroid distances = 3.5754 (9) and 3.7191 (12) Å], linking the chains to form ribbons lying parallel to (011).
