(2E)-1-(2,4-Dimethyl-quinolin-3-yl)-3-(thio-phen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one.

ABSTRACT: Two independent but virtually identical mol-ecules comprise the asymmetric unit in the title compound, C(18)H(15)NOS. With reference to the quinolin-3-yl group, the 3-(thio-phen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one residue is almost perpendicular, with all but the carbonyl O atom lying to one side of the plane. This conformation is reflected by the C-C-C-C torsion angles of -102.2 (3) and 81.1 (3)° in the two independent mol-ecules. The dihedral angle formed between the 13 non-H atoms directly associated with the quinolin-3-yl group and the thio-phen-2-yl ring is 87.70 (11)° [83.85 (10)° for the second independent mol-ecule]. The presence of C-H⋯O, C-H⋯N and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.5590 (12) Å] lead to supra-molecular chains along the c-axis direction. These are connected along the a-axis direction by C-H⋯π inter-actions. The resultant supra-molecular layers stack along the b axis.
