The enaminone [3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-m-tolyl-3-(p-tolyamino)prop-2-en-1-one] (5 mmol) was taken in polyphosphoric acid (5 mL) and heated at 140 °C for 5 h. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was diluted with water (50 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 20 mL), the combined ethyl acetate layer was washed with 0.1 N NaOH (2 x 25 mL), followed by brine solution (25 mL). The organic layer was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude product which was purified by

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs 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. |

Quinolines and their derivatives occur in numerous natural products (Michael, 1997) and may exhibit interesting physiochemical activities, finding applications as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals as well as being general synthetic platforms (Balasubramanian et al., 1996).
In the title molecule, C23 H18 Cl N, (Fig. 1), dihedral angles between the quinoline moiety and the chlorobenzene and methylbenzene rings are 2.57 (9) and 56.06 (9)°, respectively, with the conformation of the chlorobenzene ring influenced by the presence of an intramolecular C5—H···N1 interaction [2.764 (3) Å]. The overall geometry of the title compound is similar to 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-8-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline -3-carbonitrile (Asiri et al., 2011).
The crystal structure (Fig. 2) is stabilized by aromatic ring π··· π interactions with the ring centroids defined as follows: Cg(1), N1/C7/C8/C9/C10/C15; Cg(2), C1/C2/C3/C4/C5/C6 and Cg(3), C10/C11/C12/C13/C14/C15. The distance between Cg(1) and Cg(1) is 3.7427 (18) Å [-x+3, -y+2, -z+1], Cg(1) and Cg(2) is 3.7679 (19) Å [-x+2,-y+2,1 -z], Cg(1) and Cg(3) is 3.7635 (18) Å [-x+3, -y+2, -z+1], Cg(2) and Cg(3) is 3.733 (2) Å [-x+2, -y+2, -z+1].
