(2E)-3-(2-Chloro-6-methyl-3-quinol-yl)-1-(1-naphth-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

In the title mol-ecule, C23H16ClNO, the quinoline and naphthalene ring systems are individually planar, with maximum deviations of 0.020 (2) and 0.033 (2) Å, respectively, and are inclined at a dihedral angle of 30.01 (4)°. Intra-molecular C - H⋯O and C - H⋯Cl inter-actions occur. The crystal structure is devoid of any classical hydrogen bonds, but symmetry-related mol-ecules are linked via weak C - H⋯Cl inter-actions, forming chains propagating in [001].
