(E)-1-(2-Methyl-4-phenyl-quinolin-3-yl)-3-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-one.

In the title compound, C(25)H(19)NO, the quinoline ring system is approximately planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.32 (1) Å, and forms dihedral angles of 80.74 (3) and 81.71 (4)° with the two phenyl rings. In the crystal. mol-ecules are stacked along the b axis by way of a C-H⋯π inter-action and a weak π-π inter-action between the pyridine and phenyl rings with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.6924 (5) Å.
