Methyl 4-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetra-hydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-6-carboxyl-ate.

In the title mol-ecule, C(14)H(15)NO(3), the six-membered heterocyclic ring exhibits an envelope conformation. In the crystal, C-H⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers, and weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link these dimers into columns propagated along [100].
