2,5-Dimethylphenyl quinoline-2-carboxylate

Abstract

In the title compound, C18H15NO2, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the quinoline ring system and the phenyl ring is 78.8(1)°. The mean plane of the carboxylate group is twisted from the mean planes of the quinoline ring system and phenyl ring by 1.5(9) and 77.6(4)°, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C - HO interactions, generating C(8) chains along [001]. Weak π-π stacking interactions are also observed [centroid-centroid separation = 3.6238(12)Å]. © Fazal et al. 2014.
