title: 1-(6-Chloro-2-methyl-4-phenyl-3-quinol-yl)ethanone.
abstract: In the title compound, C(18)H(14)ClNO, the quinoline ring system is approximately planar with a maximum devation of 0.022 (1) Å and forms a dihedral angle of 62.70 (3)° with the phenyl ring. In the crystal, pairs of C-H⋯O inter-molecular hydrogen bonds link neighbouring mol-ecules into inversion dimers, forming R(2) (2)(14) ring motifs. These inversion dimers are stacked along the b axis. The structure is further stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions.
