Methyl 1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate

T. Kerscher, P. Mayer and P. Klüfers

Abstract: The title compound, C₆H₇NO₂, is essentially planar with a dihedral angle of 3.6 (3)° between the pyrrole ring and the methoxycarbonyl O/C/O/C plane. In the crystal structure, the N atom is a hydrogen-bond donor to the carboxylate C=O O atom of the neighboring molecule. These intermolecular hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of helical chains along the b axis.
