4-Methyl-1-phenyl-quinolin-2(1H)-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C(16)H(13)NO, the mol-ecules are connected three-dimensionally through non-classical C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions of 3.272 (3), 3.380 (3) and 3.382 (4) Å. Classical hydrogen bonds are not observed. The dihedral angle between the benzyl and quinolin-2(1H)-one mean planes is 87.15 (7)°

A view of the molecular packing in (I). All H atoms not involved in the short contact interactions have been omitted for clarity [symmetry codes: (i) 1 + x,y,z; (ii) 2 - x, -1/2 + y, 3/2 - z; (iii) 2 - x, -1/2 + y, 3/2 - z; (iv) 1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z]. The dotted lines indicate the C—H···O and C—H···π interactions.
