Methyl 4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate

Abstract

In the title compound, C7H6F3NO2, all the non-H atoms except for one of the F atoms lie on a crystallographic mirror plane. In the crystal, the molecules are linked into inversion dimers by pairs of C - H⋯F interactions, forming R 2 2(10) loops. These dimers are connected into C(6) chains along [001] through N - H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Aromatic π-π stacking interactions [centroid-centroid separation = 3.8416 (10) A°] connect the molecules into a three-dimensional network.
