N-Hexyl-N-phenyl-5-ethylthioindole-2-carboxamide

Knowledge of the position of the ethylthio group in the title compound, C₂₃H₂₈N₂OS, allows generalization of the behaviour of two families of indoles undergoing alkylthiolation reactions. The ¹H NMR spectrum of this compound is in agreement with that recently observed for other 1-carboxamide indole derivatives. The structure and conformation of the molecule is discussed and compared with that of the analogous compound N-methyl-N-phenyl-2-(5-methoxyindole)carboxamide.
