Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₆H₁₁NO₃, the quinolin-8-yloxy and 2-carboxyphenyl groups are linked through an ether O atom, the angle at this atom being 116.4 (1)° in one molecule and 114.8 (1)° in the other independent molecule. In both molecules, the carboxylic acid group interacts with the heterocyclic moiety through an intramolecular hydrogen bond.
