Ethyl 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate

In the title compound, C13H12O3, there are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Both the molecules are nearly planar and an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond is observed between the hydroxy group and the O atom of the carbonyl group. The crystal structure is stabilized by π–π stacking interactions.

Methyl 3,5-di­nitro­salicyl­ate

The title compound, C8H6N2O7, crystallizes with an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group and the O atom of the carbonyl group. A weak intermolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group and a nitro O atom forms planes parallel to the b axis.
