title: 3-Acetyl-6-chloro-4-phenyl-quinolin-2(1H)-one.
abstract: The title compound, C(17)H(12)ClNO(2), crystallizes with two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The main conformational difference between these two mol-ecules is the dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the quinoline ring system [70.5 (1)° and 65.5 (1) Å]. The crystal packing is stabilized by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
