Ethyl 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate

Abstract

In the title compound, C9H13NO2, there are two independent molecules per asymmetric unit. The molecules are very similar and almost planar, with the ethoxycarbonyl group anti to the pyrrole N atom. The two independent molecules are joined into dimeric units by strong hydrogen bonds between NH groups and carbonyl O atoms.
