5,7-Dibromo-8-methoxyquinoline

Abstract

In the title compound, C10H7Br2NO, the methoxy C atom deviates from the quinoline ring system (r.m.s deviation = 0.003 Å) by 1.204 (4) Å. In the crystal, C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite chains along the b-axis direction. Aromatic π–π stacking interactions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.7659 (19) Å] are also observed.
