In the title compound, C19H21N3O5S·H2O, the central indazole system is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 Å), while both the benzene ring and the mean plane defined by the non-H atoms of the ethyl propionic ester unit (r.m.s. deviation = 0.087 Å) are nearly perpendicular to the indazole plane, as indicated by the dihedral angles of 82.45 (8) and 75.62 (8)°, respectively. Consequently, the molecule adopts a U-shaped geometry. In the crystal, the water molecule, which is linked to the indazole system by a strong O—HN hydrogen bond, is also involved in two additional N—HO and O—HO interactions, which link the organic molecules into chains along the b-axis direction.

The title compound, C17H24Cl4, was synthesized from β-himachalene (3,5,5,9-tetramethyl-2,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-1H-benzocycloheptene), which was isolated from the essential oil of the Atlas cedar (Cedrus Atlantica). The molecule is built up from fused six- and seven-membered rings and two three-membered rings from the reaction of β-himachalene with dichlorocarbene. The six-membered ring shows a chair conformation, whereas the seven-membered ring displays a boat conformation.
