title: 4,6-Dimethyl-2-(naphthalen-1-yl)pyrimidine.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(16)H(14)N(2), contains two independent mol-ecules in which the dihedral angles between the pyrimidine and naphthaline rings are 38.20 (5) and 39.35 (5)°. Inter-molecular C-H⋯π contacts and π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.766 (1) and 3.792 (1) Å] are present in the crystal structure.
