Methyl 4-p-tolyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate

The molecules of the title compound, C13H13NO 2, are close to planar [maximum deviation of 0.0753 (15) Å from the least-squares plane defined by all non-H atoms in the molecule]. Molecules form centrosymmetric dimers through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding. Molecules further associate through edge-to-face π-stacking between each face of the p-tolyl substituent and ortho H atoms of the p-tolyl units of adjacent molecules. © 2007 International Union of Crystallography All rights reserved.
