In the title compound, C(16)H(13)ClN(2)O, the quinoline ring system is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.021 (2) angstrom. The pyridone ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 85.93 (6)degrees with respect to the quinoline ring system. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds link the molecules along the b axis. Weak pi-pi stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.7218 (9) and 3.6083 (9) angstrom] are also observed.
