In the title compound, C16H14ClNO2S, the phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 78.1 (1)° with the indole ring system. The molecular structure is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H⋯O interactions. The exhibits weak intermolecular C—H⋯O, C—H⋯π and π–π [centroid–centroid distances = 3.620 (1)–3.794 (1) Å] interactions.

A mixture of 1-phenylsulfonyl-2,3-dimethylindole (5 g, 17.5 mmol) and finely powdered NCS (2.56 g, 19.17 mmol) in dry CCl4 (80 ml) containing catalytic amount of benzoyl peroxide (0.1 g) was refluxed for 1 h and cooled. The floated succinimide was filtered off and washed with CCl4 (15 ml). The solvent was then removed completely under vacuo and recrystallized from CDCl3.
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, C—H = 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methylene, and C—H = 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl.
The indole derivatives are found to possess antibacterial (Okabe & Adachi, 1998) and antitumour (Schollmeyer et al., 1995) activities. In continuation of our studies in indole derivatives, we present the
of the title compound (I). The geometric parameters of (I) (Fig. 1) agree with those in the reported structures (Chakkaravarthi et al., 2007, 2008).The plane of the phenyl ring forms a dihedral angle of 78.1 (1)° with the indole ring system. The torsion angles O2—S1—N1—C7 and O1—S1—N1—C14 [-22.9 (2)° and 54.5 (1)°, respectively] indicate the syn-conformation of the sulfonyl moiety. The sum of bond angles around N1 [355.6 (1)°] indicates that N1 is sp2-hybridized.
The molecular packing is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H···O interactions and the crystal packing of I (Fig. 2) exhibit weak intermolecular C—H···O, C—H···π (see Table 1) and π–π [Cg1···Cg1(-x, -y, 1 - z) distance of 3.620 (1) Å and Cg1···Cg3 (-x, -y, 1 - z) distance of 3.794 (1) Å interactions. Cg1 and Cg3 are the centroids of the N1/C7–C9/C14 and C9–C14 rings, respectively.

The indole derivatives are found to possess antibacterial (Okabe & Adachi, 1998) and antitumour (Schollmeyer et al., 1995) activities. In continuation of our studies in indole derivatives, we present the crystal structure of the title compound (I). The geometric parameters of (I) (Fig. 1) agree with those in the reported structures (Chakkaravarthi et al., 2007, 2008).
The plane of the phenyl ring forms a dihedral angle of 78.1 (1)° with the indole ring system. The torsion angles O2—S1—N1—C7 and O1—S1—N1—C14 [-22.9 (2)° and 54.5 (1)°, respectively] indicate the syn-conformation of the sulfonyl moiety. The sum of bond angles around N1 [355.6 (1)°] indicates that N1 is sp2-hybridized.
The molecular packing is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H···O interactions and the crystal packing of I (Fig. 2) exhibit weak intermolecular C—H···O, C—H···π (see Table 1) and π–π [Cg1···Cg1(-x, -y, 1 - z) distance of 3.620 (1) Å and Cg1···Cg3 (-x, -y, 1 - z) distance of 3.794 (1) Å interactions. Cg1 and Cg3 are the centroids of the N1/C7–C9/C14 and C9–C14 rings, respectively.
