(Z)-N-[5-Bromo-2-(4-methylanilino)-3H-indol-3-ylidene]-4-methylaniline oxide

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C22H18BrN3O, is stabilized by π–π contacts [centroid–centroid distance = 3.476 (2) Å] between five-membered rings as well as intermolecular C—H...O and C—H...N hydrogen bonds. An intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond occurs. The benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 59.89 (8)°. The dihedral angles between the fused ring systemand the two benzene rings are 3.46 (7) and 61.97 (7)°.
