In the title compound, C16H14N4O2S, the plane of the indole ring is twisted by 70.4 (2)° with respect to the plane of the azidomethyl substituent. As a result of the electron-withdrawing character of the phenylsulfonyl groups, the N—C bond lengths are slightly longer than the anticipated value of approximately 1.355 Å for an N atom with a planar configuration. The indole ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.0296 Å. The azide group is almost linear, the N—N—N angle being 171.4 (3)°. The methyl group on the azide-substituted C atom is in a flagpole position. The phenyl ring of the sulfonyl substituent makes a dihedral angle of 87.07 (10)° with the best plane of the indole moiety. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions, which link the molecules into infinite chains running parallel to the b axis. The crystal packing is further stabilized by C—H⋯π interactions.

To a solution of 2–(bromomethyl)–3–methyl–1–phenylsulfonyl–indole (1 mmol) in DMF (3 ml) was added sodium azide (2 mmol) and stirred for 2 h at room temperature. After consumption of the 2–(bromomethyl)–3–methyl–1–phenylsulfonyl–indole (monitored by TLC), reaction mass was poured into ice water (20 ml). The solid obtained was filtered and dried (CaSO4). Then the crude product was recrystalized with MeOH (5 ml) afforded the 2–(azidomethyl)–3–methyl–1–phenylsulfonyl–indole as a colourless solid. Yield: 0.28 g (92%).
All the hydrogen atoms in the molecule were placed geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with C—H distance in the range 0.93Å to 0.97Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for CH3 group and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for all the other groups.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 phenylsulfonyl indole compounds inhibit the HIV–1 RT enzyme in vitro and HTLVIIIb viral spread in MT–4 human T–lymphoid cells (Williams, et al., 1993). The Cu(I)–catalyzed 1,3–dipolar cycloaddition reaction between alkynes and azides has been suitable for the synthesis of a large number of modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides with a broad range of applications (Amblard et al., 2009). A lot of sulfur containing compounds, exhibit insecticidal, germicidal, antimicrobial and antibacterial activities (De-Benedetti et al., 1985).
In the title compound C16H14N4O2S, the molecular conformation (Fig. 1) is preferred with the plane of indole ring twisted by 70.4 (2)° with respect to the plane of the azido group bound to the methyl substituent. The indole ring is essentially planar with a maximum deviation 0.0296 (17)Å for the atom N1. The bond angle around N3, in the chain of atom N2–N3–N4, is 171.4 (3)° and thus the azidomethyl side chain is almost linear. The methyl group on the azide substituted C atom is in a flag pole position.
The phenyl ring of the sulfonyl substituent makes a dihedral angle of 87.07 (10)° with the indole moiety. The deviation of atoms S1 and C10 from the indole mean plane is 0.453 (5)Å and -0.0618 (24)Å, respectively. As a result of electron–withdrawing character of the phenylsulfonyl group, the bond lengths N1—C8 = 1.432 (2)Å and N1—C1 = 1.416 (2)Å in the molecule are longer than the mean value of 1.355 (14)Å (Allen et al., 1987). Due to Thorpe–Ingold effect (Bassindale, 1984), bond angles around atom S1 show significant deviations from the ideal tetrahedral value, with significant deviations, widening of angle O1═S1═O2 = 119.71 (10)° and narrowing of angle N1—S1—C11 = 105.36 (8)°. The title molecule exhibits structural similarities with the already reported related structure (Fernandes et al., 2005).
In crystal packing, the molecule is stabilized by intermolecular C—H···O interactions which link the molecules into infinite chains running parallel to b axis. The crystal packing is further stabilized by C—H···π interaction, where Cg3 is centroid of C11–C16. The symmetry codes: (i) -1/2-x, 1/2+y, z; (ii) -x, 1-y, 1-z. The packing view of the title compound is shown in the Fig. 2.
