7-Methoxy-2-phenylquinoline-3-carbaldehyde

Abstract

In the title molecule, C17H13NO2, the phenyl ring is inclined to the quinoline ring system by 43.53 (4)°. In the crystal, molecules are linkedviaC—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming double-stranded chains propagating along [011]. These chains are linkedviaπ–π interactions involving inversion-related quinoline rings; the shortest centroid–centroid distance is 3.6596 (17) Å.
