Abstract
In the title molecule, C 21 H 16 O 2 , the naphthalene ring system is planar and the dihydronaphthalene ring is distorted from planarity. The dihydrobenzene ring adopts a flattened-boat conformation. The dihedral angle between the naphthalene and dihydronaphthalene ring systems is 64.13(5)°. The hydroxyl and carbonyl O atoms are involved in O-H...O intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
