15-Meth­oxy-14,15-di­hydro­andranginine

The title polycyclic alkaloid, C₂₂H₂₆N₂O₃, an indole derivative obtained from Melodinus yunnanensis, comprises three chiral C atoms and crystallizes as a racemate. Its seven-membered heterocyclic ring has a twisted conformation, with the N atom within the plane of the indole moiety and with two adjacent C atoms deviating in opposite directions from its plane by 0.756 (3) (methyl­ene C) and −0.802 (3) Å (methine C). In the crystal, pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules into centrosymmetric dimers.
