4-(Carboxymethyl)anilinium chloride

H. Kechout, R. Belhouas, S. Bouacida and H. Merazig

Abstract top

In the crystal of the title compound, C8H10NO2+·Cl-, alternating layers of hydrophobic and hydrophilic zones stack along the c axis. The chloride anions are sandwiched between the 4-(carboxymethyl)anilinium layers, forming intermolecular O-H...Cl and N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds with the ammonium and carboxyl groups of the cations. In addition, intermolecular N-H...O and weak C-H...O and C-H...Cl hydrogen bonds help stabilize the crystal structure.

Comment top

The title compound, was prepared as part of our ongoing studies of hydrogen-bonding interactions in the crystal structure of protonated amines (Bouacida et al., 2005a,b,c, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009).

The molecular structure of (I), and the atomic numbering used, is illustrated in Fig. 1. All bond distances (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within the ranges of accepted values. The amino N atom is protonated as in previously reported amino acids (Bouacida & al., 2006; Rademeyer, 2004a,b). The layered crystal packing of (I) is shown in Fig. 2, in which cations form alterning layers of 4-(carboxymethyl)anilinium of hydrophobic and hydrophilic zones along the c axis, and the chloride ions are located between these layers. In the structure, two types of classical hydrogen bonds are observed, viz. cation–anion and cation–cation (Fig. 3). The 4-(carboxymethyl)anilinium cations and the chloride anions form hydrogen-bonded double layers at z = 0 and z = 1/2, linked by N—H···Cl, C—H···Cl and O—H···Cl hydrogen bonds. Additional hydrogen-bonding parameters are listed in Table 1. These interaction bonds link the cations and the anions together, forming a three-dimensional network and reinforcing the cohesion of the ionic structure.

Experimental top

The title compound was crystallized by slow evaporation of an aqueous solution of 4-aminophenyl acetic acid, tin(II) chloride dihydrate and hydrochloric acid in a molar ratio of 5:5:1. White stick-like crystals were obtained after two weeks.

Refinement top

All H atoms were located in Fourier maps but introduced in calculated positions and treated as riding on their parent C, O and N atoms with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, O—H = 0.82Å and N—H = 0.89Å and Uiso(H) =1.5–1.2(carrier atom).

Special details top

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.
