title: Crystal structure of ethyl 2-(3,5-di-fluoro-phen-yl)quinoline-4-carboxyl-ate.
abstract: In the title compound, C18H13F2NO2, the two rings of the quinoline system are fused almost coaxially, with a dihedral angle between their planes of 2.28 (8)°. The plane of the attached benzene ring is inclined to the plane of the quinoline system by 7.65 (7)°. The carboxyl-ate group attached to the quinoline system is in an anti-periplanar conformation. There is a short intra-molecular C-H⋯O contact involving the carbonyl group. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains lying in the (1-10) plane.
