4-(Dodec-yloxy)benzonitrile.
In the title compound, C(19)H(29)NO, the C-C and C-N bond distances of the benzonitrile group are 1.445 (2) and 1.157 (2) Å, respectively. The aliphatic fragment adopts a bent zigzag arangement which differs from the planar zigzag arrangement normally observed in n-alkanes or long-chain alkyl-benzenes. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur. A C-H⋯N inter-action also occurs. In the crystal, mol-ecules are packed with the nitrile and aliphatic groups oriented in a head-to-tail fashion involving, forming a ripple-like motif along the a axis.
