3-(4-Methylphenyl)-1-(2-pyrrolyl)prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C4H13NO, the pyrrole and benzene rings are almost coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 2.90 (1)° between them. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules form centrosymmetric dimers through N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions. Neighbouring mol­ecular pairs are held together by face-to-face π–π stacking inter­actions between adjacent pyrrole rings [perpendicular inter­planar distance = 3.3948 (3) Å and centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.723 (2) Å], forming one-dimensional chains along the b axis.
