4-Chloro-1-(4-methylphenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C14H11ClN2O2S, features a three-dimensional network stabilized by π–π interactions between the rings of the 4-methylphenylsulfonyl protecting group [centroid–centroid distance = 3.623 (1) Å]. The 4-methylphenylsulfonyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 79.60 (6)° with the 4-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine unit.
