The fused heterocycle 2‐benzyl‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐4‐phenyl­sulfonyl‐2H,4H‐pyrrolo­[3,4‐b]­indole

Crystal structure determination of the title mol­ecule, C₃₀H₂₄N₂O₂S, reveals that the pyrrole ring in this fused heterocycle, although presumably strained and reactive in cyclo­addition reactions, does not differ appreciably from N‐methyl­pyrrole except for a shorter C—C single bond 1.409 (4) Å] in the pyrrole ring.
