“…These derivatives were found to be useful biological targets, and at present they attained much attention in the development of new drugs (Metallidis et al, 2007;Kaila et al, 2007). Following of our previous works related to the use of substituted 2-chloro-3-formylquinolines as precursors of different quinoline-containing heterocycles (Bouraiou et al, 2011;Hayour et al, 2011), we have recently reported preparations and antibacterial screening of series of compounds carrying diverse functionalities such as an amine, amide, ester group, heterocylic unit linked to the 2-phenylquinoline entity (Benzerka et al, 2011(Benzerka et al, , 2012(Benzerka et al, , 2013. We report herein the synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structure of 7-methoxy-2-phenylquinoline-3-carbaldehyde (I).…”
