2-Meth-oxy-quinoline-3-carbaldehyde.

ABSTRACT

In the title compound, C(11)H(9)NO(2), the quinoline ring system is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.005 Å) and the meth-oxy and aldehyde groups are almost coplanar with it [N-C-O-C = 6.24 (19) and O-C-C-C = 0.3 (2)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric R(2) (2)(10) dimers. The dimers are linked via π-π inter-actions involving the pyridine and benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.639 (1) Å].
