Structure of Quinoline-4 Methylhydrazone

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C<inf>17</inf>H<inf>13</inf>N<inf>5</inf>O<inf>4</inf>, has been determined by single crystal x-ray diffraction at room temperature.The molecule is not planar, with dihedral angles of 7.2(1)° between the quinoline ring and N-methylhydrazone group, and 17.45(2)° between the N-methylhydrazone group and the phenyl ring. The crystal parameters of this compound are as follows: monoclinic P 2 1/n, a=9.525(2) Å, b=15.192(2) Å, c= 11.302(2) Å, β = 94.722(3)°, V = 1629.8(6) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.432 g/cm3, F(000) = 728, λ (MoKα) = 0.71070 Å, μ = 0.106 mm-1, R<inf>int</inf>= 0.017. The structure was solved by SHELXS-86 and refined by SHELXL-93. R = 0.07 for 2438 observed reflections with 1 > 2σ ( I ).
