title: N-(2-Chloro-quinolin-3-ylmethyl-ene)aniline.
abstract: The title compound, C(16)H(11)ClN(2), displays a trans configuration across the C=N bond and a transoid arrangement across the quinoline ring and the azomethine C atom. This arrangement facilitates C-H⋯Cl interactions. The packing in the crystal structure is due to inter-molecular C-H⋯π and Cl⋯π (3.52 and 3.84 Å) inter-actions. The dihedral angle between the least-squares planes of 2-chloro-quinoline and phenyl-amine is 16.61 (2)°.
