The quinoline ring system is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.058 (2) Å for the N atom and forms dihedral angles of 89.23 (11) and 8.13 (17)°, respectively with the mean planes of the benzene ring and the carboxylate group. In the crystal, pairs of weak C - H?O and C - H?F hydrogen bonds link molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak ?-? [centroid-centroid distance = 3.624 (2) Å] interactions.data-to-parameter ratio = 17.6disorder in main residuemean ?(C-C) = 0.004 ÅR factor = 0.056single-crystal X-ray studyT = 296 KwR factor = 0.179
