title: 6-Cyanona-phthalen-2-yl 4-hexyl-benzo-ate.
abstract: In the title compound, C24H23NO2, a whole mol-ecule is disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies in a ratio of 0.692 (6):0.308 (6). In the major disorder component, the naphthalene ring system forms a dihedral angle of 68.6 (5)° with the benzene ring. The corresponding angle in the minor component is 81.6 (10)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into chains propagating along the b-axis direction via weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is further consolidated by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions.
