Abstract
In the title compound, C19H29NO, 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 alkylbenzenes. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur. A C—H⋯N interaction also occurs. In the crystal, molecules 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.
