Three possibilities I find immediately from the reference:

alpha-Naphthoic anhydride (MP = 146°C)
ortho-(para-Tolyl) Benzoic acid (MP = 146°C)
para-Hydroxyphenyl acetic acid (MP = 148°C)

To confirm, try making the amide of your compound:

alpha-Naphthoic anhydride amide (MP = 205°C)
ortho-(para-Tolyl) Benzoic amide (MP = 176°C)
para-Hydroxyphenyl acetic amide (MP = 167°C)

Hope that helps.
