2-(1-Benzoyl-1-phenylethyl)-3-phenylsulfanyl-1-phenylsulfonyl-1H-indole

Abstract

In the title molecule, $C_{35}H_{27}NO_{3}S_{2}$, the indole system is approximately planar. The phenyl rings of the phenylsulfonyl and phenylsulfanyl groups are oriented at angles of 74.69 (7) and 88.35 $(9)^o$, respectively, to the indole ring system. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings of the diphenylpropanone moiety is $74.25 (10)^o$. Inversion-related molecules form $C-H{\cdot\cdot\cdot\pi}$ interactions and $C-H{\cdot\cdot\cdot}O$ hydrogen bonds. The $C-H{\cdot\cdot\cdot}O$ intermolecular hydrogen bonds form a closed ring pattern in the crystal stucture.
