title: 1-(Benz-yloxy)naphthalene.
abstract: In the title compound, C(17)H(14)O, the dihedral angle between the naphthyl ring system and the benzyl group is 83.22 (4)°. Both of these moieties are planar, with mean deviations from their least-squares planes, defined by the naphthyl ring C atoms and the O atom, and the phenyl ring C atoms and the benzyl α-C atom, of 0.0176 (1) and 0.0024 (13) Å, respectively. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7817 (10) Å].
