rac-2-(2-Chloro-6-methylquinolin-3-yl)-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C19H15ClN2O, the quinoline ring forms a dihedral angle of 43.24 (1)° with the benzene ring of the dihydroquinolinyl system. In the crystal, molecules are linked through a single weak C—H...O hydrogen bond, forming ribbons which extend along (100), giving alternating zigzag molecular layers which stack down the b-axis direction.
