title: 2,6-Bis(prop-2-yn-yloxy)naphthalene.
abstract: The title compound, C(16)H(12)O(2), crystallizes with one half-mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The mol-ecule lies on an inversion centre, located at the mid-point of the naphthyl group. All non-H atoms are almost coplanar, with a mean deviation from the least-squares plane of 0.0536 (11) Å. Mol-ecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework by a combination of C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds.
