title: Phen-yl(3-methyl-1-phenyl-sulfonyl-1H-indol-2-yl)methanone.
abstract: In the title compound, C(22)H(17)NO(3)S, the N atom of the indole ring system deviates by 0.031 (3) Å from a least-squares plane fitted through all nine non-H ring atoms. The geometry around the S atom can be described as distorted tetra-hedral. As a result of the electron-withdrawing character of the phenyl-sulfonyl groups, the N-Csp(2) bond lengths are longer than the typical mean value for N atoms with a planar configuration.
