[2-(1H-Indol-4-yl)ethyl]dipropylamine

Abstract

In the title compound, C16H24N2, the aliphatic amine substituent is rotated almost orthogonally [C—C—C—C torsion angle = 75.7 (3)°] out of the plane of the indole unit. The amine N atom has a pyramidal configuration deviating by 0.380 (3) Å from the plane of the adjacent C atoms. All of the aliphatic groups are in extended transoid conformations. In the crystal, molecules form chains along the a axis via N—H...N hydrogen bonds.
