Abstract The low-temperature X-ray crystal structure of N, N-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-2- carboxamide, CTH10N20, was determined. The molecular geometry indicates that the carbonyl 7r system interacts preferentially with the lone-pair electrons of the amide N atom rather than with the 7r system of the pyrrole ring. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers.
