In the title compound, C14H18N4, the piperazine ring is in a slightly distorted chair conformation. The indole ring system is twisted from the piperazine ring, making a dihedral angle of 7.27 (11)°. In the crystal, N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link molecules into chains along [10-1].

To a solution of indole-3-carboxaldehyde (0.75 g, 0.005 mol) in a mixture of 5 ml of methanol and 5 ml of dichloromethane, an equimolar amount of (1-amino-4-methyl)piperazine (0.57 g, 0.005 mol) is added dropwise with constant stirring. The mixture was refluxed for eight hours to obtain a solution. The solution was evaporated to a small volume at room temperature and allowed to stand. The crystals were formed in one day (m.p.: 459-463 K) and were used as such for x-ray diffraction studies.
All of the H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model with Atom—H lengths of 0.95Å (CH), 0.99Å (CH2), 0.98Å (CH3) or 0.88Å (NH). Isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.2 (CH, CH2, NH) or 1.5 (CH3) times Ueq of the parent atom. Idealised Me refined as rotating groups.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |

The Schiff base ligands derived from 1-amino-4-methylpiperazine have attracted the interest due to diverse biological applications found with piperazine moiety. Schiff base piperazine derivatives were found to be designed for the study of their antimicrobial activity (Savaliya et al., 2010) and antibacterial activity (Xu et al., 2012). A valuable insight into recent advances on antimicrobial activity of piperazine derivatives is reported (Kharb et al., 2012). A review on the current pharmacological and toxicological information for piperazine derivatives is described (Elliott, 2011). The crystal structures of some related compounds, viz., 2-[(4-methyl piperazin-1-yl)iminomethyl]phenol (Guo, 2007), 1,4-bis{3-[4-(dimethy lamino)benzylideneamino] propyl}piperazine (Xu et al., 2009), 2-methoxy-4-[(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-iminomethyl]phenol (Zhou et al., 2011) and 2,4-dibromo-6-[(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl) iminomethyl]phenol (Ming-Lin et al., 2007) have been reported. In view of the above importance of N-piperazinyl Schiff bases, the title compound, (I), C14H18N4, has been synthesized and the crystal structure is reported.
The title compound, (I), crystallizes with one independent molecule in the asymmetric unit (Fig .1). In the molecule, the piperazine ring is in a slightly disordered chair conformation (puckering parameters Q, θ, and ϕ = 0.568 (3)Å, 175.2 (3)° and 225 (3)°; Cremer & Pople, 1975). The indole ring is twisted from the piperazine ring with a N2/N3/C5/C6 torsion angle of -172.3 (2)°. Bond lengths are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). N—H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 1) are observed which link the molecules into chains along [1 0 -1] and influence crystal packing (Fig. 2).
