Z.-Q. Gong and Y.-L. Shen

Abstract: In the title compound, C₄H₁₃NO, the pyrrole and benzene rings are almost coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 2.90 (1)° between them. In the crystal structure, molecules form centrosymmetric dimers through N-HO hydrogen-bonding interactions. Neighbouring molecular pairs are held together by face-to-face - stacking interactions between adjacent pyrrole rings [perpendicular interplanar distance = 3.3948 (3) Å and centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.723 (2) Å], forming one-dimensional chains along the b axis.
