Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₉H₁₆BrNO₄S, the mean plane of the indole ring system (A) and the phenyl ring make a dihedral angle of 77.41 (5)°. An intramolecular C-HBr hydrogen bond provides an essential coplanarity of the mean plane of bromoacrylic acid ethyl ester substituent and plane A, with a dihedral angle of 4.96 (8)°. Weak intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds and - interactions stabilize the crystal packing.
