(Received 24 October 2011; accepted 29 October 2011; online 5 November 2011)

There is a twist in the title mol­ecule, C15H11ClN2, as seen in the dihedral angle of 18.85 (9)° between the quinoline and benzene rings. A short C—H⋯N contact arises from this conformation and the amine H and quinoline N atoms are directed towards opposite sides of the mol­ecule. In the crystal, supra­molecular layers in the ab plane are mediated by C—H⋯π inter­actions.

Comment top

As a part of on-going studies of nitropyridine derivatives (Aznan Akhmad et al., 2010), the title compound was synthesized and structurally characterized. In (I), Fig. 1, the dihedral angle between the quinolinyl [r.m.s. deviation for the 10 non-hydrogen atoms = 0.022 Å] and benzene rings is 18.85 (9) Å indicating a twist in the molecule. The amine-H and quinolinyl-N atoms are directed towards opposite sides of the molecule. The quinolinyl-N atom participates in a close intramolecular C—H···N contact, Table 1. The amine-H atom is flanked by aromatic residues precluding its participation in close intermolecular contacts. The molecules are connected into supramolecular layers in the ab plane via C—H···π interactions, Fig. 2 and Table 1. Layers are connected along the c axis via weak C—H···Cl contacts, with the shortest of these being a C12—H12···Cl1i contact of 2.92 Å [C12···Cl1i = 3.655 (3) Å with angle at H12 = 135 °, for i: 1 + x, 1/2 - y, -1/2 + z], Fig. 3.

Experimental top

2-Chloroquinoline (1.0 g, 0.006 mol) was added to a solution of 4-chloroaniline (0.78 g, 0.006 mol) in ethanol (10 ml), and the mixture was refluxed for 7 h. The mixture was then cooled and the solvent evaporated off. The residue was dissolved in water and then extracted with diethyl ether (3 x 10 ml). The ether extracts were washed with water (3 x 10 ml) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent gave the product and crystallization from its ethanol solution gave colourless prisms.

Refinement top

Carbon-bound hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated positions (C—H 0.95 Å) and were treated as riding on their parent carbon atoms, with U(H) set to 1.2 times Ueq(C). The amine-H atom was refined with N—H = 0.86±0.01 Å with refined Uiso.

Special details top

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
