title: 1-(1-Hy-droxy-8-methyl-9H-carbazol-2-yl)ethanone.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(13)NO(2), crystallizes with four independent mol-ecules (A, B, C and D) in the asymmetric unit. The carbazole units are almost planar [maximum deviations = 0.015 (3) for A, 0.024 (3) for B, 0.026 (3) for C and 0.046 (3) Å for D]. In all four mol-ecules, there is an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the hy-droxy substituent and the carbonyl O atom of the adjacent acetyl group, which forms a six-membered ring. In the crystal, the four independent mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O inter-actions.
