2-Carboxy-1-(3-nitrophenyl)ethanaminium perchlorate

W.-X. Liang, Y. Li, G. Wang and Z.-R. Qu

Abstract top

In the cation of the title compound, C9H11N2O4+·ClO4-, the conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular N-H...O hydrogen bond. In the crystal packing, centrosymmetrically related cations interact through intermolecular O-H...O hydrogen bonds involving the carboxy groups, forming dimers. The dimers and the perchlorate anions are further linked into layers parallel to the ab plane by C-H...O and N-H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions.

Comment top

β-Amino acids are important molecules due to their pharmacological properties. Recently, there have been an increased interest in the enantiomeric preparation of β-amino acids as precursors for the synthesis of novel biologically active compounds (Cohen et al., 2002). In addition, β-amino acids are attractive ligands for use in the generation of polar coordination polymers, especially when one considers that the ferroelectric compounds (Qu et al., 2004).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound (Fig. 1) contains one 1-(3-nitrophenyl)-2-carboxyethanaminium and one perchlorate anion. The conformation of the cation is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond (Table 1). In the crystal packing, centrosymmetrically related cations at (x, y, z) and (-x, 1-y, 1-z) are linked into a dimer by intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds involving the carboxy groups forming an eigth-membered ring of graph set motif R2 2(8) (Etter et al., 1990; Bernstein et al., 1995). The dimers and the perchlorate anions are further connected into layers parallel to the ab plane (Fig. 2) by C—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonding interactions.

Experimental top

Under nitrogen protection, 3-nitrobenzaldehyde (4.53 g, 30 mmol), malonic acid (5.0 g, 48 mmol) and ammonium acetate (6.0 g, 78 mmol) were added in a flask and refluxed for 12 h yielding a white precipitate. After being cooled to room temperature, the solution was filtered, and the 3-amino-3-(3-nitrophenyl)propanoic acid obtained was dissolved in ethanol and perchloric acid. After slow evaporation of the solution over a period of 3 d, colourless prismatic crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were isolated.

Refinement top

All H atoms were calculated geometrically and were allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, N—H = 0.89 Å, O—H = 0.82 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) or 1.5 Ueq(N, O).

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.
