Abstract

The title compound, C21H25NO, is a member of a well known family of liquid crystals (4-oxy-4'-cyanobiphenyls, OCBs) and packs in lamellar-type bilayers in the solid state, through CN...H hydrogen bonds. This packing type is analogous to that found of other members of the n-OCB homologous series, viz. 7-OCB and 9-OCB.
