Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₆H₁₈N₂O₄·H₂O, the substituted indole molecule forms a hydrogen bond to the water molecule. The water molecule in turn interacts with the carbonyl O atom of the acetoxy unit of an adjacent indole molecule and also with the O atom of the acetamide unit of another indole molecule, giving rise to a hydrogen-bonded helical chain structure that runs along the b axis of the monoclinic unit cell.
