In the title compound, C(17)H(15)N(3)O(2)·C(2)H(6)O, Schiff base molecules are linked by a hydr-oxy-amido hydrogen bond into a helical chain running along the b axis. This chain is consolidated by two other hydrogen bonds; the ethanol solvent mol-ecule is a hydrogen-bond donor to the amide group and a hydrogen-bond acceptor for the indolyl NH group of an adjacent Schiff base mol-ecule.
