Abstract

In the title compound, C20H17NO5, the dihedral angle between the mean plane of the di-hydro-quinoline ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 Å) and the benzene ring is 1.83 (11)°. The almost planar conformation is a consequence of an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond and the E configuration about the central C=C bond. In the crystal structure, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate chains of mol-ecules along the [10-1] direction. These chains are linked via π-π inter-actions [inter-centroid distances are in the range 3.6410 (16)-3.8663 (17) Å].
