The title compound, C19H10F5NO2, was synthesized by the 1:1 condensation of 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinaldine with pentafluorobenzaldehyde. It crystallizes with two almost identical molecules in the asymmetric unit. The pentafluorobenzene ring is essentially coplanar with the quinoline ring, forming dihedral angles of 2.49 (17) and 8.72 (16)° in the two molecules.
