(4S)-3-Methyl-5,6,7,8-tetra­hydro-4H-spiro­[[1,2]oxazolo[5,4-b]quinoline-4,3′-indole]-2′,5-dione

In the title compound, C₁₈H₁₅N₃O₃, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the quinoline and indole ring systems [r.m.s. deviations = 0.189 (2) and 0.027 (2) Å, respectively] is 88.65 (5)°. The cyclo­hexene ring of the quinoline ring system adopts an envelope conformation with the central –CH₂– C atom as the flap. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by two pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers, and enclosing R₂²(14) ring motifs. This arrangement results in the formation of chains propagating along [100].

(4S)-5′-Chloro-3,7,7-trimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetra­hydro-4H-spiro­[1,2-oxazolo[5,4-b]quinoline-4,3′-indole]-2′,5-dione

In the title compound, C₂₀H₁₈ClN₃O₃, the five- and six-membered heterocycles fused through a spiro C atom are inclined to each other at an angle of 87.4 (1)°. In the tricyclic ring system, the cyclo­hexene ring adopts an envelope conformation with the spiro atom as the flap. In the crystal, two sets of N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into columns containing centrosymmetric R₂²(7) ring motifs and propagating along the b-axis direction.
