1-{Phenyl[1-(p-tolyl)ethylamino]methyl}-2-naphthol

The title compound, C26H25NO, was obtained via a one-pot synthesis from the reaction of 2-naphthol, 1-(p-tolyl)ethylamine, p-toluenesulfonic acid and benzaldehyde. There are three molecules per asymmetric unit, all having similar conformations. There are intramolecular O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with only van der Waals forces found between molecules.
