title: 1-{Phen-yl[1-(p-tol-yl)ethyl-amino]meth-yl}-2-naphthol.
abstract: The title compound, C(26)H(25)NO, was obtained via a one-pot synthesis from the reaction of 2-naphthol, 1-(p-tol-yl)ethyl-amine, p-toluene-sulfonic acid and benzaldehyde. There are three mol-ecules per asymmetric unit, all having similar conformations. There are intra-molecular O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with only van der Waals forces found between mol-ecules.
