Abstract
In the title compound, C20H17N3O, a potential anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor, the pyrrolidine ring has an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, adjacent molecules are connected into infinite chains via an N—H...O hydrogen bond.
