title: N-phenylsulfonyl-3-methylbenz[f]indole.
abstract: In the title compound, C19H15NO2S, the benz[f]indole ring system is essentially planar, with maximum and mean deviations for the 13 ring atoms of 0.051 (2) and 0.023 (4) A. The N atom lies 0.199 (1) A out of the plane of the three atoms bonded to it. The phenyl group forms a dihedral angle of 82.83 (5) degrees with the benz[f]indole plane. The S--N distance is 1.646 (1) A and the S = O distances average 1.426 (1) A.
