Crystal structure of 2-(4-fluoro-3-methylphenyl)-5-{[(naphthalen-1-y1)- oxy]methyl}-1,3,4-oxadiazole

The title compound, C20H15FN2O2, adopts an almost planar conformation. The oxadiazole ring makes dihedral angles of 13.90 (1) and 7.93 (1) with the naphthalene ring system and benzene ring, respectively, while the naphthalene ring system and benzene ring are inclined to one another by 6.35 (1)degrees. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked via C-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [100]. There are also pi-pi interactions present [intercentroid distances = 3.5754 (9) and 3.7191 (12) angstrom], linking the chains to form ribbons lying parallel to (011).
