2-(3-Cyano-4-{3-[1-(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-1,3-di-hydro-indol-2-yl-idene]prop-2-en-yl}-5,5-dimethyl-5H-furan-2-yl-idene)malono-nitrile.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C25H24N4O2, adopts a cisoid configuration and has twofold orientational disorder of the 2-hy-droxy-ethyl group. The mol-ecule is twisted from planarity so that the dihedral angle between the terminating indol-2-yl-idene and the furan-2-yl-idene moiety mean planes is 12.75 (7)°. Conformational disorder occurs at the indol-2-yl-idene N atom, which results in two orientations for the hy-droxy-ethyl group [occupancy ratio = 0.896 (2):0.104 (2)], and the hy-droxy O atom of the 2-hy-droxy-ethyl group is located over three sites [occupancy ratio = 0.548 (2):0.348 (2):0.104 (2)]. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the lowest occupancy hy-droxy O atom is observed. In the crystal, the mol-ecules pack in parallel dimeric sheets about centres of symmetry, utilizing O-
