title: N'-[(E)-4-Hy-droxy-benzyl-idene]-2-(naph-tha-len-2-yl-oxy)acetohydrazide.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(19)H(16)N(2)O(3), contains two independent mol-ecules in which the dihedral angles between the naphthalene ring system and the benzene ring are 10.0 (1) and 35.3 (1)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional framework parallel to (001). Weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds complete a three-dimensional network.
