Abstract

The mol­ecule of the title hydrate, C₁₆H₁₁ClFN₃·H₂O, is slightly twisted, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 9.55 (10)° formed between the quinoline ring system and the benzene ring. The conformation about the C=N double bond is E, and the amine-H atom is oriented towards the quinoline residue. In the crystal structure, the water mol­ecule accepts an N-HO and makes two O-HN_quinoline hydrogen bonds, generating a two-dimensional array in the ab plane, which is further stabilized by C-HO inter­actions. The most significant contacts between layers are of the type C-HF.
