title: tert-Butyl N-hydr-oxy-N-[(1S*,2R*)-2-(1-naphth-yl)cyclo-pent-3-en-1-yl]carbamate.
abstract: The relative stereochemistry of the title compound, C(20)H(23)NO(3), was established by X-ray analysis. The asymmetric unit contains two independent mol-ecules. In the crystal structure, each type of mol-ecule forms a centrosymmetric dimer via pairs of inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in an R(2) (2)(10) loop in each case.
