Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₂₁H₁₄N₂O₄, the asymmetric unit contains one-half of the molecule, with the other half generated by a crystallographic twofold axis; the central C atom lies on the twofold axis. The dihedral angle between the substituted phenyl and pyrrole rings is 52.1  (1)°. The molecular packing in the crystal is stabilized by --stacking interactions and weak C-H interactions.
