7-Chloro-4-[(E)-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylidene)hydrazin-1-yl]quinoline

Abstract

In the title compound, C19H18ClN3O3, the r.m.s. deviation through the 23 non-H and non-methoxy atoms is 0.088 Å, indicating a planar molecule with the exception of the methoxy groups. One methoxy group, surrounded on either side by the other methoxy groups, is almost normal to the benzene ring to which it is connected [C—O—Car—Cartorsion angle = 81.64 (15)°]. In the crystal, N—H...O, C—H...O and π–π interactions [between quinoline residues; centroid–centroid distance = 3.4375 (8) Å] link molecules into a three-dimensional architecture.
