(2-Chloro-6-methylquinolin-3-yl)methanol

The title compound, C(11)H(10)ClNO, is close to being planar (r.m.s deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.026 angstrom). In the crystal, molecules are linked by O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, generating C(2) chains, and weak C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions and aromatic pi-pi stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.713 (3) angstrom] help to consolidate the sturcture
