The title compound was prepared according to the modified method of Snyder & Eliel (1948), as Scheme 1 shows. 1-Methyl-3-dimethylaminomethylindole was added to an ethanolic-aqueous solution (15%, 100 ml) of sodium cyanide (1.87 g, 0.038 mol), and then the resulting mixture was refluxed for 2 h, with the process monitored by TLC. After the reaction ceased, the reaction mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 50 ml), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and separated by flash chromatograhpy (ethyl acetate-petroleum 10/90 v/v) to provide the major product 1-methylindole-3-acetonitrile (yield 3.68 g,57%, m.p.328–330 K) and its isomeric substance 1,3-dimethyl-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile (yield 0.97 g,15%, m.p.339–340 K). Colourless blocks of (I) were grown from a mixture of ethyl actate and petroleum ether (1:1 v/v).
All H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.95–0.98 Å)and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(CH) or 1.5Ueq(CH3).

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. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The asymmetric unit of (I) comprises of two molecules (Fig. 1), in which the indole ring is each almost coplanar with a dihedral angle of 1.32 (7)° and 0.75 (7)°, respectively, between its pyrrole ring and fused benzene ring.
In the crystal packing, strong π-π stacking interactions help establishing the molecular packing.
