Ethyl (naphthalen-2-yloxy)acetate

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H14O3, the dihedral angle between the naphthyl ring system and the side chain is 9.00 (14)°, and the ethoxy chain adopts an extended conformation [C—O—C—C = 176.0 (3)°]. There are no directional interactions in the crystal beyond normal van der Waals contacts.
