title: 1-(2-Methyl-benz-yl)-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde.
abstract: In the title compound, C(17)H(15)NO, the benzene ring and the indole system are almost perpendicular, making a dihedral angle of 87.82 (6)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯O and π-π stacking inter-actions with centroid-centroid distances of 3.592 (4) Å between the pyrrole and the benzene rings in the indole systems of neighboring mol-ecules.
