Methyl (2Z)-2-[(2-formyl-3-methyl-1H-indol-1-yl)meth-yl]-3-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)prop-2-enoate.
In the title indole derivative, C22H21NO4, the dihedral angle between the benzene and pyrrole rings of indole moiety is 1.8 (1)°. The plane of the 4-meth-oxy-phenyl ring is oriented with a dihedral angle of 60.7 (1)° with respect to the plane of the indole moiety. The mol-ecular packing is stabilized by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds which form a V-shaped chain arrangement along the bc plane of the unit cell. In addition to this, C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.8102 (11) and 3.8803(12) Å], which run along the b-axis direction, stabilize the mol-ecular packing.
