In the title compound, C16H13BrClNO2S, the indole mean plane forms a dihedral angle of 73.59 (19)° with the phenyl ring. The molecular structure is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H⋯O interactions. The Br atom is disordered over two positions with site occupancy factors of 0.7 and 0.3.

1-(Phenylsulfonyl)-3-(bromomethyl)-2-methylindole (0.5 g, 1.37 mmol) was dissolved in dry ccl4(10 ml) and then powdered N-chloro succinimide was added. To this, azobisisobutyronitrle (50 mg) was also added and then refluxed for 2 h on a waterbath. After the reaction was completed, succinimide was floated on the surface of the reaction mixture. It was then filtered off and washed with CCl4 (3 ml). The solvent was removed carefully under vacuo. The crude product was recrystallized from CCl4. Yield:76 percentage.
H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic C—H and C—H = 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for CH2. The Br atom is disordered over two positions with the occupancies of 0.709 (16) and 0.291 (16), respectively. The distances C1—C2, C2—C3, C3—C4, C4—C5, C10—C11 and C11—C12 were restrained to 1.395 (1) Å, the distances C16—BR1 and C16—Br1A were restrained to 1.91 (10) Å and the distance CL1—C15 was restrained to 1.76 (5) Å. The anisotropic thermal parameters of C15, C16, BR1, BR1A, CL1 atoms were restrained with DELU in the final cycles of the

In continuation of our studies of indole derivatives, which are known to exhibit anti-oxidant activity (Olgen & Coban, 2003), antihepatitis B virus activities (Chai et al., 2006) and antibacterial (Nieto et al., 2005) activities, we report the crystal structure of the title compound (I).
The geometric parameters of the molecule of (I) (Fig. 1) agree well with the reported structures (Chakkaravarthi et al., 2007, 2008). The indole mean plane forms a dihedral angle of 73.59 (19)° with the phenyl ring. The N1—S1—C1 plane is almost orthogonal to indole ring (dihedral angle 82.30 (22)°) and makes 76.93 (22)° with the phenyl ring. The indole mean plane and C8—C16—BR1 plane are nearly orthogonal to each other forming a dihedral angle of 82.23 (0.29)°.
The sum of bond angles around N1 (359.99°) shows that N1 is sp2-hybridized. The torsion angles O1—S1—N1—C14 and O2—S1—N1—C7 [17.8 (6)° and -33.4 (6)°, respectively] indicate the syn conformation of the sulfonyl moiety. The molecular structure is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H···O interactions.
