2-(3-Cyano-4-{3-[1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1,3-dihydroindol-2-ylidene]prop-2-enyl}-5,5-dimethyl-5H-furan-2-ylidene)malononitrile

Abstract

The title compound, C25H24N4O2, adopts a cisoid configuration and has twofold orientational disorder of the 2-hy­droxy­ethyl group. The mol­ecule is twisted from planarity so that the dihedral angle between the terminating indol-2-yl­idene and the furan-2-yl­idene moiety mean planes is 12.75 (7)°. Conformational disorder occurs at the indol-2-yl­idene N atom, which results in two orientations for the hy­droxy­ethyl group [occupancy ratio = 0.896 (2):0.104 (2)], and the hy­droxy O atom of the 2-hy­droxy­ethyl group is located over three sites [occupancy ratio = 0.548 (2):0.348 (2):0.104 (2)]. An intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the lowest occupancy hy­droxy O atom is observed. In the crystal, the mol­ecules pack in parallel dimeric sheets about centres of symmetry, utilizing O—H⋯N(cyano), C—H⋯N(cyano) and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, in two sets parallel to (02-1) and (021) planes.
