Crystal Structure of 8-Hexyloxy-2-[(z)-2-(naphthalen-2-yl)ethenyl]quinoline

In the title molecule, C27H27NO, the naphthalene and quinoline groups are both planar and subtend a dihedral angle of 15.47 (7)°. They are nearly coplanar with the cis-vinyl bridge and the hexyloxy chain, which adopts an all-trans conformation, resulting in transannular bifurcated intramolecular C—H...N,O contact. The crystal structure features γ-packing of the aromatic moieties, while the parallel packing of alkyl chains resembles that of alkanes.
