5-Benz­yloxy-3-methyl-1-tosyl-1H-indole

The title compound, C₂₃H₂₁NO₃S, represents one of the few examples of a 5-substituted indole with a toluene­sulfonyl group bonded to the N atom. The benzyl group adopts a synclinal geometry with respect to the indole ring [dihedral angle = 59.95 (4)°], while the tolyl ring is oriented close to perpendicular to the indole ring, making a dihedral angle of 81.85 (3)°. The indole N atom exhibits a slight pyramidalization.
