To a refluxing solution of 2,3-dibromomethyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)indole (668 mg, 1.51 mmol) (Mohanakrishnan & Srinivasan, 1995) and K2CO3 (625 mg, 4.50 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) was added a solution of benzylamine (200 µL, 1.80 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) slowly via addition funnel. After 14 h, the opaque solution was filtered through a Celite pad with ethyl acetate rinses. The combined yellow filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to yield a (I) as a pale yellow solid, which was purified by column chromatography (3:1 hexanes: ethyl acetate) to yield (I) (360 mg) in 61% yield: m.p. 424–425 K. As (I) was unstable toward oxidation, an elemental analysis was not attempted. Recrystallization from hexane–dichloromethane (3:1) yielded crystals that were suitable for X-ray crystallography.
The H atoms were included in the riding model approximation with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.19–1.20Ueq(C).
The title compound, C23H20N2O2S, was synthesized as a precursor to the corresponding pyrrolo[3,4-b]indole as a stable synthetic analogue of indole-2,3-quinodimethane and having a potentially removable benzyl protecting group. The X-ray crystallographic analysis confirms the molecular structure and atom connectivity for (I) that we had proposed for this compound based on NMR spectroscopy and chemical reactions (Kishbaugh & Gribble, 2002).
The pyrrolidine nitrogen N2 has bond angles totaling 336.4 (2)°, indicating slight flattening from a purely pyramidal nitrogen, which is 324° for ammonia with H—N—H bond angles of 108°, and is consistent with the inductive electron-withdrawing properties of a benzyl group.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title compound, C23H20N2O2S, was synthesized as a precursor to the corresponding pyrrolo[3,4-b]indole as a stable synthetic analogue of indole-2,3-quinodimethane and having a potentially removable benzyl protecting group. The X-ray crystallographic analysis confirms the molecular structure and atom connectivity for (I) that we had proposed for this compound based on NMR spectroscopy and chemical reactions (Kishbaugh & Gribble, 2002).
The pyrrolidine nitrogen N2 has bond angles totaling 336.4 (2)°, indicating slight flattening from a purely pyramidal nitrogen, which is 324° for ammonia with H—N—H bond angles of 108°, and is consistent with the inductive electron-withdrawing properties of a benzyl group.
