In the title compound, C(19)H(16)N(2)O(2), the benzene ring and naphthyl ring system are inclined at a dihedral angle of 16.1 (3)°. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond influences the mol-ecular conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains running along the a axis.
