In the title compound, C17H15N3O2·C2H6O, Schiff base molecules are linked by a hydroxy-amido hydrogen bond into a helical chain running along the b axis. This chain is consolidated by two other hydrogen bonds; the ethanol solvent molecule is a hydrogen-bond donor to the amide group and a hydrogen-bond acceptor for the indolyl NH group of an adjacent Schiff base molecule.
2-Hydroxybenzohyrazide (0.60 g, 4 mmol) and 2-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxaldehyde (0.63 g, 4 mmol) were heated in ethanol (30 ml) for 3 h. The solvent was removed by evaporation and the light brown product recrystallized from ethanol.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 to 0.99 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5 U(C).
The oxygen- and nitrogen-bound H-atoms were also generated geometrically (O–H 0.84, N–H 0.88 Å).

There are no reports of the title Schiff base but there are several reports on the medicinal properties of the unsubstituted compound, indol-3-ylmethylidene-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide (Alemany et al., 1967; Fujikawa et al., 1966; Nakata et al., 1966; Singh et al., 1984). The methyl-substituted title compound (Scheme I, Fig. 1) is a planar molecule that is linked by a hydroxy···amido hydrogen bond into a helical chain that runs along the b-axis of the monoclinic unit cell (Fig. 2). The chain is consolidated by two other hydrogen bonds: the ethanol molecule is hydrogen-bond donor to the amido unit well as hydrogen-bond acceptor to the aminoindolyl unit of adjacent Schiff bases.
