(E)-N′-[(2-Hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)methylidene]-4-methylbenzohydrazide

In the title compound, C19H16N2O2, the benzene ring and the naphthyl ring system form a dihedral angle of 8.7 (3)° and an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming C(4) chains propagating in [001].
