Abstract

The title mol-ecule, C(19)H(18)N(2)O(2), is built up from three fused rings, viz. phenyl, pyrrole and cyclo-hexane, linked to a nitro-benzyl group. The C atom bearing the nitro-benzyl group is chiral and the compound is a racemate (R/S). The dihedral angle between the nitro-benzyl and indole rings is 57.49 (5)°. The cyclo-hexane ring adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation.
