The title compound, C22H20N2O, was obtained from the condensation reaction of 3-formylbenzonitrile, 2-naphthol and pyrrolidine. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit, having similar conformations. Intramolecular O—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds occur, with only van der Waals forces between molecules. The dihedral angles between the naphthalene ring system and the phenyl ring in the two molecules are 75.28 (10) and 76.07 (11)°. The five-membered rings adopt half-chair conformations.
