This Schiff base molecule has an E configuration about the C=N bond and is almost planar, the dihedral angle between the mean planes through the substituted benzene ring and the naphthyl system being 6.6 (2)¡ã. There is an intramolecular O¡ªH...N hydrogen bond involving the naphthyl hydroxy substituent and the N¡ä atom of the hydrazide group. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked through intermolecular N¡ª-H...O hydrogen bonds to form chains extending along the b direction. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536808031395
