(2E)-1-(6-Chloro-2-methyl-4-phenylquinolin-3-yl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C25H18ClNO, the conformation about the C=C double bond is E. Significant twists are evident in the molecule, with the benzene ring forming a dihedral angle of 53.92 (11)° with the quinolinyl residue. Further, the chalcone residue is approximately perpendicular to the quinolinyl residue [Cq-Cq-Cc-O c torsion angle =-104.5 (3)°, where q = quinolinyl and c = chalcone]. In the crystal, the presence of C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions leads to supra-molecular layers lying parallel to (1̄02).
