The title compound, C18H18N2O, was obtained dissolving indolic acid (0.96 mmol, 0.277 g) and boric acid (0.30 mmol, 0.020 g) in 88 ml of toluene under N2 atmosphere. Once the mixture was colorless, (S)-(-)-phenylethylamine was added and heated under reflux by 16 h. After that, mixture was cooled and hexane (0.5 L) was added. Finally, white solid was obtained and crystalized from an ethyl acetate/diethylether solution; m. p. 94–96 °C.

H atom bonded to N atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and they were isotropically refined. H atoms bonded to C atoms were placed in geometrical idealized positions and refined as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) or Ueq(H) = 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl groups. In the absence of anomalous scatterers, the
could not be determined. It was set according to the starting material and Friedel pairs were merged.The synthesis of chiral non racemic acetamides indole compounds is an original area of interest in organic chemistry (Kochanowska-Karamyan & Hamann, 2010) because they are useful intermediates for the synthesis of diverse interesting nitrogen
and indole derivatives and natural products (Suárez-Castillo et al., 2006; Chiou et al., 2009).In the title compound the N1 atom in a planar conformation from the plane between C9, H1N and C1 with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.012Å. The N1—C9 [1.322 (5) Å] and C9—O1 [1.254 (4) Å] distances show electron delocalization along the N1—C9—O1 system. The indole group shows a torsion angle of 102.1 (4)° from the plane placed by N1/C9/C10/C11 and phenyl ring C2—C7 shows a torsion angle of 92.3 (4)° from plane C9/N1/C1/C2. The crystal packing is stabilized by two hydrogen bond interactions [N1—H1N···O1 and N2—H2N···O1] linking the molecules into planes parallel to (0 0 1) (Table 1).

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 > 2σ(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 synthesis of chiral non racemic acetamides indole compounds is an original area of interest in organic chemistry (Kochanowska-Karamyan & Hamann, 2010) because they are useful intermediates for the synthesis of diverse interesting nitrogen heterocyclic compounds and indole alkaloids derivatives and natural products (Suárez-Castillo et al., 2006; Chiou et al., 2009).
In the title compound the N1 atom in a planar conformation from the plane between C9, H1N and C1 with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.012Å. The N1—C9 [1.322 (5) Å] and C9—O1 [1.254 (4) Å] distances show electron delocalization along the N1—C9—O1 system. The indole group shows a torsion angle of 102.1 (4)° from the plane placed by N1/C9/C10/C11 and phenyl ring C2—C7 shows a torsion angle of 92.3 (4)° from plane C9/N1/C1/C2. The crystal packing is stabilized by two hydrogen bond interactions [N1—H1N···O1 and N2—H2N···O1] linking the molecules into planes parallel to (0 0 1) (Table 1).
