In the title compound, C18H15BrClNO2, the indole ring system forms a dihedral angle of 86.9 (2)° with the 3-chlorobenzyl ring. In the crystal, molecules form inversion dimers connected via pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

0.2 g (0.74 mmol) of 2-(5-bromo-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl) acetic acid were dissolved in 5 ml dry dimethylformamide. Then 60 mg of Sodium hydride were slowly added and the mixture was stirred under argon at 273 K for 30 min (Maguire et al., 2001). Then, 0.18 ml (1.48 mmol) of 3-chlorobenzyl chloride were dissolved in 3 ml of dry dimethylformamide and this was then slowly added to the mixture and stirred for 1 h at 273 K. The reaction was stopped by quenching with ice cooled water; the pH was adjusted to 1 by 5 N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The product was extracted with ethyl acetate three times, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and finally concentrated under vacuum. The product was purified by washing with methanol. Crystals of the title compound were obtained by slow evaporation of methanol at room temperature.
Hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated positions with O—H = 0.82 Å, C—H = 0.95 Å (aromatic) or 0.99–1.00 Å (sp3 C-atom). All H atoms were refined with isotropic displacement parameters set to 1.2–1.5 times of the Ueq 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. |

We synthesized and evaluated inhibitors for the microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) (Elkady et al., 2012). The title compound was synthesized to obtain a template which leads to series of different derivates of the indole scaffold.
The indole ring is oriented with dihedral angle of 86.9 (2)° with the 3-chlorobenzyl ring in the crystal structure. Each two molecules form centrosymmetrical dimers connected via O18–H18···O17 hydrogen bridges (O18···O17 2.679 (3) Å) (Tab.1).
