3-Hydr-oxy-N'-isopropyl-idene-2-naphthohydrazide

The title Schiff base, C(14)H(14)N(2)O(2), is close to being planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-hydrogen atoms = 0.052 Å) and an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, the moleucles are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, giving rise to helical chains propagating along the c axis of the tetra-gonal unit cell.
