Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₈H₁₇ClN₂O, the quinoline ring system is essentially planar; the r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms is 0.04 Å with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of 0.026 (4) Å for the C atom bonded to the -CH₂- group. The methoxy-substituted benzene ring forms a dihedral angle of 70.22 (4)° with this ring system. The crystal structure can be described as zigzag layers in which the quinoline ring systems are parallel to (011) and molecules are connected via intermolecular N-HN hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [100]. The crystal studied was an inversion twin with a 0.86 (5):0.14 (5) domain ratio.
