The indolyl -NH group of the title Schiff base, C19H19N3O2, forms a hydrogen bond to the -OH group of an inversion-related molecule, resulting in a hydrogen-bonded dimer; adjacent dimers are further linked through an interdimer N-H
O hydrogen bond involving the -C(=O)-NH-N=fragment to form a linear ribbon that runs along the a axis.
Indole-3-acetylhydrazine (0.55 g, 4 mmol) and 2-hydroxy-5-methylacetophenone (0.52 g, 4 mmol) were dissolved in ethanol (100 ml). The reactants were heated under reflux for 1 h. The solvent was removed to give the tSchiff base, which was purified by recrystallization from ethanol.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.99 to 0.99 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2 to 1.5U(C).
The amino and hydroxy H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with a distance restraint of N–H/O–H 0.85±0.01 Å; their displacement parameters were freely refined.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |

The Schiff base that is derived by condensing 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone with indole-3-acetylhydrazine crystallizes as a co-crystal with unchanged indole-3-acetylhydrazine (Ali et al., 2007). The reason for the formation of the co-crystal appears to be related to the ease of hydrogen bond formation as the parent ketone itself has two possible donor sites.
In the similar synthesis but with 2-hydroxy-5-methylacetophenone, only the pure Schiff base is obtained (Scheme I, Fig. 1). The indolyl –NH unit forms a hydrogen bond to the –OH unit of an inversion-related molecule to furnish a hydrogen-bonded dimer; adjacent dimers are further linked through an inter-dimer N–H···O hydrogen involving the –C(=O)–NH–N= fragment to form a linear ribbon chain that runs along the shortest axis of the triclinic unit cell (Fig. 2). The hydroxy group itself engages in intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
