Abstract: The title compound, C₁₇H₁₂N₂O, was synthesized by an ether synthesis from quinolin-6-ol and 4-(bromomethyl)benzonitrile. The phenyl ring of the benzonitrile group makes a dihedral angle of 47.52 (6)° with the plane of the quinoline fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C-H interactions between a benzene H atom of the benzonitrile group and the benzene ring of the quinoline fragment. In addition, the crystal structure also exhibits a weak intermolecular C-HN hydrogen bond.
