The title compound, C17H25ClN3O3+·Cl-·H2O, is a monohydrated hydrochloride salt of a new derivative of mosapride, which is a pharmaceutical compound possessing gastrointestinal pro-kinetic activity. The chloride anion accepts hydrogen bonds from the NH group of the pyrrolooxazine fused-ring system and from the amine group, and the water molecules form hydrogen bonds that bridge between the chloride anion and the C=O bond of the amide.
A mixture of 4-amino-5-chloro-2-ethoxybenzoic acid (8.613 g, 40 mmol), (hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]oxazin-3-yl)methanamine (4.8 g, 30.72 mmol) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (11.8 g, 61.8 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (60 ml) was stirred for two hours under an argon atmosphere. The products were treated with saturated NaHCO3 (200 ml) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 300 ml), then the organic layer was dried with anhydrous MgSO4 and distilled under vacuum. The white solids were collected and dried (yield 5.856 g, 54.0%). Crystals of the title compound were obtained by acidifying with hydrochloric acid then recrystallizing from methanol.
With the exception of the central amide group, H atoms bonded to N and O atoms were located in difference Fourier maps and refined without restraint. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with N—H = 0.86 Å, C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 times Ueq(C/N).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Mosapride citrate is a benzamide derivative that possesses a gastrointestinal prokinetic activity (Aoki et al. 2007). The title compound (Fig. 1) is a new mosapride derivative, and crystals of its hydrochloride salt were obtained by acidifying with hydrochloric acid then recrystallizing from methanol.
In the benzamide unit, the C=O bond distance of 1.229 (3) Å is much shorter than the C—O bond distances (1.359 (3)–1.432 (3) Å), showing it to have full double-bond character. Meanwhile, the C9—N2 distance of 1.330 (4) Å is comparable with that of C4—N1 (1.352 (4) Å), but much shorter than N2—C10 (1.441 (3) Å), N3—C13 (1.493 (4) Å), N3—C14 (1.489 (4) Å) and N3—C17 (1.492 (4) Å). Thus, the C4—N1 bond has partial double-bond character.
