Diethyl 3,3′-(phenylmethylene)bis(1<i>H</i>-indole-2-carboxylate)

Abstract

In the title compound, C(29)H(26)N(2)O(4), the benzene ring is twisted by 73.5 (5) and 84.9 (3)° with respect to the mean planes of the two indole ring systems; the mean planes of the indole ring systems are oriented at a dihedral angle of 82.0 (5)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains.
