6-Methoxy-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1 H -carbazol-1-one

The carbazole unit of the title molecule, C13H13NO2, is not planar. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the pyrrole ring is 1.69 (6) . The cyclohexene ring adopts an envelope conformation. Intermolecular C-H...O and N-H...O hydrogen bonds are present in the crystal structure. A C-H...pi interaction, involving the benzene ring, is also found in the crystal structure.
