2,4-Dichloro-7,8-dimethyl-quinoline.

There are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(11)H(9)Cl(2)N, both of which are essentially planar [maximum deviations of 0.072 (5) and 0.072 (7) Å]. In the crystal structure, weak π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.791 (3) Šand 3.855 (3) Å] link pairs of mol-ecules.
