organic compounds
The crystal structure of the title compound, C19H14O3, an intermediate in the synthesis of 2-naphthylchromones, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The title molecule, which can be viewed as the fusion of 1-naphthoic acid and acetophenone, is not planar. The dihedral angle between the benzene and naphthalene planes is 77.39 (7)°. Two intramolecular C-HO bonds and a short intramolecular OO distance of 2.719 (2) Å have been observed.
