In the title compound, C 22 H 18 N 2 O 3 S, the two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit form a dimer via N-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, the molecular layers can be found in the (110) plane, connected by C-HÁ Á Á interactions. Atoms of the furan ring of one independent molecule are disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio 0.735 (3):0.265 (3).
Structure descriptionThe thiophene moiety is present in a large number of bioactive molecules having diverse biological activities such as anti-inflammatory (Murakami et al., 1998), anticonvulsant (Kulandasamy et al., 2009), antibacterial (Lu et al., 2011) and antitumor (Kaushik et al., 2012. The quinoline ring system is one of the most commonly encountered heterocycles in medicinal chemistry (Bouraiou et al., 2007). Substituted quinolines possess diverse chemotherapeutic activities including antibacterial (Kidwai et al., 2000), antifungal (Musiol et al., 2006), antimalarial (Charris et al., 2005Cunico et al., 2006) and antitumor (Chen et al., 2006). As part of our studies in this area, we report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound.In the asymmetric unit (Fig. 1), the two independent molecules A and B form a dimer via N-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds (Table 1). In both molecules, the cyclohexene rings of the fused tetracyclic cores are puckered with Q T = 0.438 (2) Å , = 65.0 (2) , ' = 277.0 (3) in A and Q T = 0.481 (2) Å , = 111.8 (2) , ' = 87.2 (2) in B. In both A and B, the molecular conformation is stabilized by an N-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, molecular layers can be found in the (110) plane which are connected by C-HÁ Á Á and C-HÁ Á ÁN interactions (Fig. 2, Table 1). There is a -interaction between the N1A/C4A-C8A and C9A-C14A(Àx, Ày + 1, Àz + 2) rings with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.7975 (10) Å .
