The title compound, C23H21NO3S, represents one of the few examples of a 5-substituted indole with a toluenesulfonyl group bonded to the N atom. The benzyl group adopts a synclinal geometry with respect to the indole ring [dihedral angle = 59.95 (4)°], while the tolyl ring is oriented close to perpendicular to the indole ring, making a dihedral angle of 81.85 (3)°. The indole N atom exhibits a slight pyramidalization.

To a stirred solution of dimsylsodium [prepared from 110 mg (2.75 mmol) of NaH 60% dispersion in mineral oil and dimethylsulfoxide dry (0.58 ml) at 338 to 343 K until H2 is no longer evolved] was added a solution of 5-benzyloxy-3-methylindole (325 mg, 1.37 mmol) in dry THF (0.9 ml) under ice cooling. After stirring at room temperature for 1 h a solution of 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride (225 mg, 1.18 mmol) in THF (0.9 ml) was added to this mixture at 273 K. After being stirred at room temperature for 16 h, the reaction product was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated. The remaining residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexanes to give 482 mg of the desired product as white needle crystals (90%): mp 402 to 403 K. A suitably sized, block-like crystal was cut from a larger, columnar crystal for the diffraction study.
Hydrogen atoms were included in geometrically calculated positions. C—H distances were constrained to 0.95 Å for aromatic and 0.98 - 0.99 Å for aliphatic hydrogen atoms. Methyl hydrogen atoms were refined with thermal parameters restrained to UisoH = 1.5 × UeqC and all other hydrogen atoms = 1.2 × UeqC of the carbon to which they are bonded.

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. |

Substituted indoles serve as unique precursors for medicinally important physostigmine alkaloids, which are anticholinesterases and miotics. This alkaloid skeleton has been found in marine alkaloids from Broyoza Flustra foliacea in the flustramines (Marino et al., 1989) The literature presents a great number of enantiocontrolled syntheses for the natural and unnatural physostigmine (Marino et al., 1992) Our interest in physostigmine emanated from our recent asymmetric synthesis of naphthyl lactams (Silveira & Marino, 2013) using chiral vinyl sulfilimines (Pozza Silveira et al., 2012). Herein we report 5-(benzyloxy)-3-methyl-1-tosyl-1H-indole as a potential physostigmine precursor.
The title compound, C23H21NO3S, exhibits no unusual structural features and represents one of the few examples of an indole with a toluenesulfonyl bonded to the nitrogen and an oxygen bridging moiety bonded in the 5-position on the indole ring. The two other examples are 5-cyano-2-methoxy-4-trifluoromethyl-6-[3'-(N-toluenesulfonyl-5'-µethoxyindolyl)]pyridine (Xiong et al., 2001) and 1-(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl-3-((E)-2-(benzyl((4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl)αmino)ethenyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indole (Witulski et al., 2000). In both of these examples the 5-position is occupied by a methoxy group.
Bond distances and angles are within normal, acceptable ranges (Allen et al. 1995). The benzyl moiety adopts a syn-clinal geometry with respect to the indole ring (interplanar angle = 59.95 (4)°), while the tolyl ring is oriented close to perpendicular to the indole ring (interplanar angle = 81.85 (3)°). The complement of this angle, 108.15°, is close to the N1—S1—C16 angle (104.19 (5)°). The difference is a consequence of a slight pyramidalization of the indolic nitrogen.
