title: 1-(1H-Indol-3-ylcarbonyl)-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)formamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C18H16N2O3, the indole ring is planar and the two adjacent carbonyl groups are mutually trans oriented with a torsion angle of 144.8 (3) degrees. The single C-C bond linking the two carbonyl functionalities is 1.539 (4) A. Molecules are linked into a two-dimensional network by intermolecular N-H...O hydrogen bonds.
