Abstract

In the title compound, C20H20N2O3, the central 2,5-di-hydro-1H-pyrrole ring [r.m.s. deviation = 0.014 (1) Å] is oriented at dihedral angles of 77.81 (6) and 25.33 (6)°, respectively, to the attached phenyl ring and the aniline phenyl ring. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R 2 (2)(10) ring motif. Two weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are also observed.
