2,6-Bis(prop-2-ynyloxy)naphthalene

Abstract

The title compound, C16H12O2, crystallizes with one half-molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecule lies on an inversion centre, located at the mid-point of the naphthyl group. All non-H atoms are almost coplanar, with a mean deviation from the least-squares plane of 0.0536 (11) Å. Molecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework by a combination of C—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds.
