title: 2-Chloro-12-phenyl-6,7,8,9,10,11-hexa-hydro-cyclo-octa-[b]quinoline.
abstract: In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(21)H(20)ClN, the quinoline group is nearly planar and is oriented at a dihedral angle of 77.21 (3)° with respect to the phenyl ring. The conformation of the cyclooctane ring is twist-boat. In the crystal structure, there are some weak π-π inter-actions [centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.7414 (11) and 3.8633 (12) Å] between the rings of the quinoline groups.
