title: 3,3'-{1,1'-Methyl-enebis[naphthalene-2,1-diylbis(oxymethyl-ene)]}dibenzonitrile.
abstract: The title compound, C(37)H(26)N(2)O(2), was synthesized from 1,1'-methyl-enedinaphthalen-2-ol and 3-(bromo-methyl)-benzo-nitrile. The two naphthyl systems are almost perpendicular to each other [dihedral angle 83.3 (9)°] and the two cyano-benz-yloxy rings approximately parallel to each other [dihedral angle 15.5 (2)°].
