In the title compound, C18H15NO2, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the quinoline ring system and the phenyl ring is 48.1 (5)°. The mean plane of the carboxylate group is twisted from the mean planes of the latter by 19.8 (8) and 64.9 (5)°, respectively. The crystal packing features weak C—H⋯O interactions, which form chains along [010].

The title compound was prepared by the following procedure: To a mixture of 1.73 g (10 mmole) of quinaldic acid and 1.56 g (10 mmole) of 3,4-dimethylphenol in a round-bottomed flask fitted with a reflex condenser with a drying tube is added 0.15 g (10 mmole) of phosphorous oxychloride. The mixture is heated with occasional swirling, and temperature is maintained at 348-353 K. At the end of eight hours the reaction mixture is poured in to a solution of 2 g of sodium bicarbonate in 25 mL of water. The precipitated ester is collected on a filter and washed with water. The yield of crude, air dried 3,4-dimethyl phenyl quinoline-2-carboxylate is 1.47 to 1.90 g (50-65%). X-ray quality crystal was obtained by recrystallization from absolute ethanol.(M.P.:397 K)
All of the H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model with Atom—H lengths of 0.93Å (CH) or 0.96Å (CH3). Isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.2 (CH) or 1.5 (CH3) times Ueq of the parent atom. Idealised Me refined as rotating group.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |

Quinoline-2 carboxylic acid derivatives are a class of important materials as anti-tuberculosis agents, as fluorescent reagents, hydrophobic field-detection reagents, visualisation reagents, fluorescent labelled peptide probes and as antihyperglycemics. Quinoline derivatives represent a major class of heterocycles and are found in natural products(Morimoto et al., 1991; Michael, 1997), numerous commercial products, including fragrances, dyes(Padwa et al., 1999)and biologically active compounds (Markees et al., 1970; Campbell et al., 1988). Quinoline alkaloids such as quinine,chloroquin, mefloquine and amodiaquine are used as efficient drugs for the treatment of malaria (Robert & Meunier,1998). Quinoline has been used as a privileged scaffold in cancer drug discovery (Solomon & Lee, 2011). The crystal structures of 4-methylphenyl quinoline-2-carboxylate (Fazal et al.,2012), 1-(quinolin-2-yl)ethanone(Butcher et al., 2007) and methyl quinoline-2-carboxylate (Jing & Qin, 2008) and the synthesis, crystal structures and theoretical studies of four Schiff bases derived from 4-hydrazinyl-8-(trifluoromethyl) quinoline (Jasinski et al., 2010) have been reported. In view of the importance of quinolines, this paper reports the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), C18H15NO2.
In the title compound, C18H15NO2, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the quinoline ring and the phenyl ring is 48.1 (5)° (Fig. 1). The mean plane of the carboxylate group is twisted from the mean planes of the quinoline ring and phenyl ring by 19.8 (8)° and 64.9 (5)°, respectively. The crystal packing is influenced by weak C8—H8···O1 intermolecular interactions making chains along [0 1 0](Fig. 2). No classical hydrogen bonds were observed.
