Abstract

The crystal structures of 3-methylpyrrolo[2,3-b]tropone (1) and its Cu(II) complex (12Cu) were analyzed by X-ray crystallography. The structure of 1 exists in the crystal in its keto form rathar than in the enol form (1’). Pyrrolotropone (1) formed a 2:1 complex with Cu(II). The Cu(II) ion has a tetragonal environment formed by two tropone O atoms and two pyrrole N atoms.
