9-[Ethoxy­(8-quinolyl­amino)­methyl]­anthracene.

The title compound, C26H22N2O, was readily synthesized from the reaction between 8-amino­quinoline and 9-anthr­aldehyde in EtOH solution. There is an intramolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond and weak C—H⋯N/O interactions. The mol­ecule self-assembles into a zigzag chain along the c axis through π–π interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
