title: 1-[Morpholino(phen-yl)meth-yl]-2-naphthol.
abstract: There are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(21)H(21)NO(2), which was synthesized by the one-pot reaction of 2-naphthol, morpholine and benzaldehyde. The dihedral angles between the naphthalene ring systems and the benzene rings are 84.03 (7) and 75.76 (8)° in the two mol-ecules and an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs in each independent mol-ecule.
