(2-Hy­droxy-7-meth­oxy­naphthalen-1-yl)(4-methyl­phen­yl)methanone

In the title compound, C(19)H(16)O(3), an intra­molecular O—H⋯O=C hydrogen bond is formed between the hy­droxy and carbonyl groups on the naphthalene ring system, resulting in an S(6) ring. The angles between the C=O bond vector and the least-squares planes of the naphthalene ring system and the benzene ring are 27.63 (6) and 47.99 (7)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the latter planes is 61.39 (5)°. In the crystal, two mol­ecules are connected by pairs of inter­molecular O—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric dimers with an R (2) (2)(4) graph-set motif. The mol­ecular packing features C—H⋯π interactions.
