title: 2-Chloro-methyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-sulfonyl-1H-indole.
abstract: In the title compound, C(16)H(14)ClNO(2)S, the phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 78.1 (1)° with the indole ring system. The mol-ecular structure is stabilized by weak intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions. The crystal structure exhibits weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O, C-H⋯π and π-π [centroid-centroid distances = 3.620 (1)-3.794 (1) Å] inter-actions.
