In the title molecule, C17H22N2O3, the mean plane of the terminal (C=O)OMe fragment and the indole plane form a dihedral angle of 78.94 (3)°. Intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains extended along the c axis. The crystal packing exhibits π–π interactions, indicated by the short distance of 3.472 (2) Å between the centroids of the five-membered heterocycles of neighbouring molecules.

A suspension of potassium carbonate (1.80 g, 13.0 mmol), 1-bromobutane (0.35 ml, 3.25 mmol) and methyl 3-(1H-Indole-3-carbonyl)aminopropionate (0.80 g, 3.25 mmol) in acetonitrile (30 ml) magnetically stirred at 328 K for 72 h. After filtration, the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was recrystallized with ethanol/water solution (1:1 v/v). Then the recrystallized solid was further purified by
on silica gel (petroleum ether/EtOAc, 1:1 v/v) to yield I (m.p. 367 K, 91.6%). Colourless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained over a period of five days by slow evaporation at room temperature of a petroleum ether/EtOAc solution (1:1 v/v).The H atoms were positioned geometrically [C—H = 0.99Å for CH2, 0.98Å for CH3, 0.95Å for CH(aromatic) and N—H = 0.88 Å] and refined using a riding model, with Uiso = 1.2Ueq (1.5Ueq for the methyl group) of the parent atom.

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. |

Many indole derivatives show important bioactivities, such as metabotropic receptor antagonists (Fabio et al., 2007) and protein kinase inhibiting activity (Sharma et al., 2004). In continuation of our previous structural investigations of 3-trichloroacetylindole (Zeng et al., 2005), we report here the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
In (I) (Fig.1), all bond lengths and angles are unexceptional and correspond to those observed in the related compounds (Zeng et al., 2005; Siddiquee et al., 2009). In the crystal structure, adjacent molecules are linked through N2—H2A···O1 hydrogen bonds, forming chains extending along the c axis. The crystal packing exhibits π–π interactions proved by short distance of 3.472 (2) Å between the centroids of five-membered heterocycles of the neighbouring molecules.
