2-[(4-Chlorophenyl)(2-phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methyl]cyclohexan-1-one

In the title compound, C27H24ClNO, the indole ring is almost orthogonal to the chlorophenyl ring and the mean plane of the cyclohexanone ring, making a dihedral angles of 82.11 (6) and 89.96 (4)°, respectively. In the crystal, a strong N—H...O hydrogen bond links the molecules, forming chains running along the c axis. The chains are linked by weak C—H...π interactions, forming layers parallel to the ac plane.
