2-Chloro-3-[(E)-(hydrazin-1-ylidene)methyl]-6-methoxyquinoline

Abstract

In the title compound, C11H10ClN3O, the quinoline ring system is essentially planar, the r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms being 0.014 (2) Å with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of 0.0206 (14) Å for the C atom bonded to the –CH—N=NH2 group. In the crystal, molecules are linked via N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag layers parallel to (010).
