Abstract: The title compound, C₁₁H₁₀N₂O, a potential antitumour drug, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The 4-amino N atom is strongly conjugated with the quinoline ring involving the 3-carbonyl group. As a result, the molecule is almost planar. The amino group is involved in both intramolecular N-HO and intermolecular N-HN hydrogen bonds.
