Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₆H₁₈N₂O₂, the indole moiety is nearly planar. The two carbonyl groups are almost perpendicular, with a torsion angle of -105.7 (4)°, and the single C-C bond linking the two carbonyl groups is 1.515 (5) Å in length. The molecules are linked together by N-HO intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
