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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
