In the title compound, 2-[(methylphenylamino)methyl]-1-(phenylsulfonyl)indole, C
22H
20N
2O
2S, the indole system is not strictly planar and the dihedral angle between the fused rings is 2.7 (1)°. The angles around the S atom of the sulfonyl substituent deviate significantly from the ideal value for tetrahedral geometry. The pyramidalization at the indole N atom is very small. Of the two C—H
O interactions, one influences the orientation of indole with respect to the sulfonyl group and the other determines the orientation of the phenyl bound to sulfonyl. The phenyl ring of the sulfonyl substituent makes a dihedral angle of 89.6 (1)° with the best plane of the indole. The molecular packing is stabilized by C—H
π and C—H
O hydrogen bonds.

CCDC reference: 164648
3-Bromo-(1-phenylsulfonylindol-2-yl-methyl)-N-methylaniline was treated
with tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) in DMF at 353 K and gave the
corresponding debrominated product of the title compound in 70% yield.
All the hydrogen atoms were included in calculated positions and allowed to ride
on their corresponding parent atoms.

Special details top
Experimental. Data were collected over a hemisphere of reciprocal space, by a combination of
three sets of exposures; each set had a different ϕ angle (0, 88 and 180°)
for the crystal and each exposure of 30 s covered 0.3° in ω. The
crystal-to-detector distance was 4 cm and the detector swing angle was -35°.
Coverage of the unique set was over 99% complete. Crystal decay was monitored
by repeating 30 initial frames at the end of data collection and analysing the
duplicate reflections; it was found negligible. |
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 biological activities of indoles and their derivatives have been known for a long time. The indole unit occurs naturally in a wide variety of structures. The indole ring system occurs in plants (Nigović et al., 2000). Indolines and their oxidized counter parts are important pharmacophores that appear in numerous biologically active compounds most notably those affecting central nervous system (Zhang & Liebeskind, 1996). Certain indole derivatives possess antidepressive (Papenstasion & Newmeyer, 1972), anti-inflammatory (Rodriguez et al., 1985; Polletto et al., 1974), antimicrobial (El-Sayed et al., 1986; Gadaginamath, 1999), antitumor (Schollmeyer et al., 1995) and antibacterial (Okabe & Adachi, 1998) activities. They have been proven to display high aldose reductase inhibitory activity (Rajeswaran et al., 1999). Because of the wide range of biological activities of indole derivatives, we have undertaken the X-ray studies on an indole derivative, (I), in order to study its conformations in the solid state. \sch
The indole system is not strictly planar and the dihedral angle formed by the pyrrole and benzo planes is 2.7 (1)°. Atom N1 deviates by -0.104 (2) Å from the mean plane passing through S1, C1 and C4. This slight pyramidalization behaviour is also observed in related indoles (Yokum & Fronczek, 1997; Beddoes et al., 1986). The torsion angles O2—S1—N1—C4 = 152.0 (2)° and O2—S1—C9—C14 = 175.5 (2)° describe the conformation of the phenylsulfonyl group with respect to the indole system which cause the best planes of the indole and phenyl rings to form a dihedral angle of 89.6 (1)° as observed in similar structures (Yokum & Fronczek, 1997).
In the benzene ring of the indole system, endocyclic angles at C8 and C5 are contracted to 117.3 (2) and 119.2 (2)° while those at C7 and C4 are expanded to 122.4 (2) and 121.5 (2)°, respectively. This would appear to be a real effect caused by the fusion of the smaller pyrrole ring to the six-membered benzene ring. A similar effect has also been observed by Sivaraman et al. (1994a,b, 1996), Govindasamy et al. (1999) and Sankaranarayanan et al. (2000).
The phenyl ring attached to N16 is inclined to an angle of 83.1 (1)° with indole mean plane and 66.0 (1)° with the phenyl ring of the sulfonyl group. The sum of the angles around N16 [359.1 (4)°] is indicative of sp2 hybridized character. The orientation of the indole substituent is influenced by a weak interaction C8—H8···O1 quantitatively defined by the torsion angles C8—C4—N1—S1 [-9.6 (3)°], C4—N1—S1—C9 [-93.6 (2)°] while the orientation of the phenyl bound to the sulfonyl group is governed by the C10—H10···O2 interaction (Table. 2) quantitatively defined by the torsion angle O2—S1—C9—C10 [-4.2 (2)°].
The angular disposition of the bonds about the S atom shows significant deviation from that of a regular tetrahedron, with the largest deviation in O—S—O angle. The widening of the angle O1—S1—O2 = 120.4 (1)° from the ideal tetrahedral value is presumably the result of the repulsive interactions between the short S═O bonds similar to that observed in related structures (Govindasamy et al., 1999; Rodriguez et al., 1985; Beddoes et al., 1986). The S—N and S—C bond distances agree well with the literature values of 1.642 (24) and 1.758 (13) Å (Allen et al., 1987), respectively.
In addition to van der Waals interactions, the molecular packing is stabilized by a C—H···O hydrogen bond and C—H···π interaction (Table 2), where Cg1 is the ring centroid of the benzene ring (C3—C8).
