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

The molecules of the title compound, C13H13NO2, are close to planar [maximum deviation of 0.0753 (15) angstrom 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 pi-stacking between each face of the p-tolyl substituent and ortho H atoms of the p-tolyl units of adjacent molecules.
