Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₂H₁₉NO₂S, the two phenyl rings adopt a trans conformation with respect to the indole moiety. The indole system deviates slightly from planarity. The aromatic ring of the phenylsulfonyl group is almost perpendicular to the indole ring, while the benzyl ring is oriented at an angle of 77.01  (1)°. A zigzag C-HO intermolecular hydrogen bond along the b axis and C-H interactions stabilize the crystal packing.
