In the title compound, C16H18N2O2, the molecule adopts an E conformation about the C=N double bond. The dihedral angle between the pyrrole and phenyl rings is 41.55 (8)°. In the pairs of intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. In the dimer, the two pyrrole rings are almost coplanar and the two phenyl rings are parallel to each other.

A quantity of aniline (0.186 g, 2 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (10 ml), then an ethanol solution (10 ml) containing ethyl 5-formyl-3,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (0.39 g, 2 mmol) was added dropwise at room temperature. After stirring for 4 h, the mixture was filtered and set aside to crystallize at room temperature for several days, giving yellow block crystals.
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and N—H = 0.86 Å, and were thereafter treated as riding, with Uiso(H) values of 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl groups and 1.2Ueq(C,N) for others.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Pyrrol-2-ylmethyleneamine ligands have attracted much recent attention due to their excellent coordination abilities for metal ions (Yang et al., 2006 & Wang et al., 2010). As part of our ongoing search for a biologically active material, the title compound was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction.
In the title compound, all the bond lengths are comparable with those observed in the other similar compound (Wang et al., 2009). The molecule adopts an E configuration at the C=N double bond. The dihedral angle between pyrrole ring (N2/C8–C11, r.m.s. deviation 0.0035 Å) and phenyl ring (C1–C6, r.m.s. deviation 0.0036 Å) is 41.55 (8)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked into a centrosymmetric dimer by two intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds, forming a R22(10) ring motif (Table1, Fig. 2). In the dimer, the two pyrrole rings are almost coplanar (r.m.s. deviation 0.028 Å) and the two phenyl rings are parallel with each other. The crystal packing is further stabilized by the stacking between the C=N with the adjacent pyrrole ring, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.642 Å.
