Abstract: In the molecule of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₁NO₃, the naphthalimide ring system is nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation 0.0139 Å). In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers forming R₂²(14) ring motifs. - contacts between the naphthalimide rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.648 (3), 3.783 (3), 3.635 (3), 3.722 (3) and 3.755 (3) Å] may further stabilize the structure.
