The title compound, C15H15NO·0.5H2O, was prepared from α-naphthylamine and 2,4-pentanedione in a 1:1 ratio. An intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond in the N-naphthylpent-3-en-2-one molecule involving the amine and carbonyl groups strengthens the structure. The water molecule interacts with two symmetry-related N-naphthylpent-3-en-2-one molecules viaby O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
