Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₂H₁₉NO, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the carbazole ring system 77.1 (1)°.. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular aromatic - interactions between the benzene ring and the pyrrole ring of the carbazole system of neighbouring molecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.617 (4) Å]. In addition, the crystal structure exhibits a weak intermolecular C-H interaction.
