title: (1-Bromo-naphthalen-2-yl)acetonitrile.
abstract: The title compound, C(12)H(8)BrN, was prepared as a starting material for a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction with a pinacol ester. The torsion angle about the ring-methylene C-C bond is 30.7 (3)°, such that the N atom is displaced by 1.174 (4) Å from the plane of the naphthalene ring system.
