Compound (I) was obtained from 6-methyl-2-phenylquinoline-3-carboxylic acid and ethyl chloroformate in presence triethylamine in chloroform (Saudi et al., 2003). Suitable crystals for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution of (I) in diisopropylether at room temperature.
All H atoms were located from Fourier maps but introduced in calculated positions and treated as riding on their parent C atom with C-H = 0.93-0.98Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl).
Since Atwell et al. (1988) and Denny et al. (1990) demonstrated the efficacy of 2 + 1 unfused tricyclic aromatic systems such as phenylquinolines as a minimal intercalators, 2-phenylquinoline (Mikata et al., 1998; Henriksen et al., 1991) was selected as the DNA intercalator. The conjugated C=N bond in the 2-phenylquinoline unit was also expected to generate the photoexcited 3(n→π*) state upon photoirradiation, which may have a radical character and could be capable of cleaving DNA (Toshima et al., 1999). On the other hand, certain 2-phenylquinoline carboxamide derivatives have been shown to possess DNA binding capability and a broad-spectrum activity in both leukemia and solid-tumor assays (Atwell et al., 1989). As part of our program related to the synthesis of some new heterocyclic compounds with medicinal potential (Bouraiou et al.,2006, 2008; Benzerka et al., 2008; Ladraa et al., 2009), we report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound (I). The molecular geometry and the atom-numbering scheme of (I) are shown in Fig. 1. The asymmetric unit of title compound contains a quinolyl unit bearing a phenyl ring at position C-2, amide group at C-3 and methyl at C-6. The two rings of the quinolyl moiety are fused in an axial fashion and form a dihedral angle of 3.13 (4)°. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring quinoline ring system is 49.40 (5)°. The amide group is essentially planar. The r.m.s deviation for atoms C2/C17/O1/N2/C18 is 0.007Å and the maximum deviation is -0.0131 (15)Å for C17. The C—N [1.3260 (17) Å] bond length to the carbonyl group is closer to that of a standard C═N double bond (1.27 Å) than to that of a single bond (1.49 Å). This is because the lone pair electrons on nitrogen of the amide are delocalized into the carbonyl group. The crystal packing can be described as layers in zig zag perpendicular to b axis which quinoline rings are parallel to the (-110) plane (Fig. 2). The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bond (N—H···O), resulting in the formation of infinite one-dimensional chain along the b axis linked these layers reinforce the cohesion of the structure (Fig. 2).

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

Since Atwell et al. (1988) and Denny et al. (1990) demonstrated the efficacy of 2 + 1 unfused tricyclic aromatic systems such as phenylquinolines as a minimal intercalators, 2-phenylquinoline (Mikata et al., 1998; Henriksen et al., 1991) was selected as the DNA intercalator. The conjugated C=N bond in the 2-phenylquinoline unit was also expected to generate the photoexcited 3(n→π*) state upon photoirradiation, which may have a radical character and could be capable of cleaving DNA (Toshima et al., 1999). On the other hand, certain 2-phenylquinoline carboxamide derivatives have been shown to possess DNA binding capability and a broad-spectrum activity in both leukemia and solid-tumor assays (Atwell et al., 1989). As part of our program related to the synthesis of some new heterocyclic compounds with medicinal potential (Bouraiou et al.,2006, 2008; Benzerka et al., 2008; Ladraa et al., 2009), we report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound (I). The molecular geometry and the atom-numbering scheme of (I) are shown in Fig. 1. The asymmetric unit of title compound contains a quinolyl unit bearing a phenyl ring at position C-2, amide group at C-3 and methyl at C-6. The two rings of the quinolyl moiety are fused in an axial fashion and form a dihedral angle of 3.13 (4)°. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring quinoline ring system is 49.40 (5)°. The amide group is essentially planar. The r.m.s deviation for atoms C2/C17/O1/N2/C18 is 0.007Å and the maximum deviation is -0.0131 (15)Å for C17. The C—N [1.3260 (17) Å] bond length to the carbonyl group is closer to that of a standard C═N double bond (1.27 Å) than to that of a single bond (1.49 Å). This is because the lone pair electrons on nitrogen of the amide are delocalized into the carbonyl group. The crystal packing can be described as layers in zig zag perpendicular to b axis which quinoline rings are parallel to the (-110) plane (Fig. 2). The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bond (N—H···O), resulting in the formation of infinite one-dimensional chain along the b axis linked these layers reinforce the cohesion of the structure (Fig. 2).
