3-Phenyl-1-(pyrrol-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one
Abstract
The title molecule, C13H11NO, is almost flat, the angle between the pyrrole and the phenyl rings being 10.9 (1)°. The atoms of the central C3O unit are coplanar, with a mean deviation from the plane of 0.001 (1) Å. The angles between this plane and the pyrrole and phenyl rings are 3.3 (1) and 8.0 (1)°, respectively. The molecules form centrosymmetric dimers through a pair of N—H...O hydrogen bonds with an R22(10) motif.
