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

The title molecule, C14H13NO2, is almost flat with a dihedral angle of 8.0 (1)degrees between the pyrrole and benzene rings. The central C3O ketone unit has an s-cis conformation and is also coplanar with a torsion angle of -0.6 (3)degrees. An intramolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bond generates an S(5) ring motif. In addition, the methoxy group is coplanar with the attached benzene ring. In the crystal structure, neighboring molecules are paired through N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric dimers with an R-2(2)(10) motif.
