The title compd., C14H14O2, crystallizes in the chiral monoclinic space group P21. Crystallog. data and at. coordinates are given. This acetal is composed of a planar naphthalene ring with a 1,3-dioxane ring substituent, which has a chair conformation. In the crystal structure, symmetry-related mols. are connected via a weak C-H...O interaction to form a helical chain propagating in [010]. While there are no ?-? stacking interactions present, there are weak C-H...? interactions involving the naphthalene arom. rings, which link the helical chains to form a two-dimensional network in the (011) plane.
