Ethyl-indole-2- carboxylate (1 g,5.29 mmol) was dissolved in distilled benzene (20 ml). To this benzenesulfonyl chloride (0.82 ml,5.82 mmol) and 60% NaOH (2.1 g in3.52 ml) were added along with tetra butyl ammonium hydrogen sulfate (1.0 g). This two phase system was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. It was then diluted with water (50 ml)and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with benzene (2x20 ml)and the combined organic extracts were dried(Na2SO4). The solvent was removed completely and the crude product was recrystallized from methanol afforded ethyl- 1-phenylsulfonyl-indole 2-carboxylate (m.p 395–397 K).
H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using riding model with C—H = 0.93Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic C—H, C—H = 0.97Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for CH2, C—H = 0.96Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for CH3.
Compounds containing the indole moiety exhibit antibacterial and fungicidal activities (Joshi & Chand, 1982). In addition, indole derivatives are also known to exhibit anticancer and anti-HIV (Pomarnacka & Kozlarska-Kedra, 2003) activities.
The geometric parameters of the title molecule (Fig. 1) agree well with reported similar structures (Chakkaravarthi et al., 2010) The dihedral angle between the six membered ring of the indole moiety and the benzene ring is 72.40 (5)°. The sum of bond angles around N1 [359.03 (9) °] indicates the sp2
state. The molecular structure is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H···O interaction.For the biological activity of Indole derivatives, see: Joshi & Chand (1982); Pomarnacka & Kozlarska-Kedra (2003); For a related structure, see: Chakkaravarthi et al. (2010)

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. |

Compounds containing the indole moiety exhibit antibacterial and fungicidal activities (Joshi & Chand, 1982). In addition, indole derivatives are also known to exhibit anticancer and anti-HIV (Pomarnacka & Kozlarska-Kedra, 2003) activities.
The geometric parameters of the title molecule (Fig. 1) agree well with reported similar structures (Chakkaravarthi et al., 2010) The dihedral angle between the six membered ring of the indole moiety and the benzene ring is 72.40 (5)°. The sum of bond angles around N1 [359.03 (9) °] indicates the sp2 hybridization state. The molecular structure is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H···O interaction.
