4-(2-Naphthyl)butanoic acid.
4-(2-Naphthyl)butanoic acid, C14H14O2, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P2(1)/a. The single type of hydrogen bond forms cyclic dimers about inversion centers. The carboxylic-O atoms are ordered as is the acid-H atom. The structure comprises double layers of aromatic rings in a herringbone array separated by double layers of hydrogen-bonded aliphatic strings, a pattern seen previously in related substances.
