The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C13H17N2O)2[ZnCl4]·2H2O, contains two tetra­hydro­harmine cations, one tetra­chloro­zincate(II) anion and two water mol­ecules. In the cations, the two 1H-indole ring systems are essentially planar, with maximum deviations of 0.016 (2) and 0.018 (2) Å, and both tetra­hydro­pyridinium rings show a half-chair conformation. The ZnII complex anion has a distorted tetra­hedral geometry. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O, N—H⋯Cl, O—H⋯O, O—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional network. A ππ inter­action with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.542 (14) Å is also observed.

Comment top

The metal complexes of the 6-methoxy-1-methyl-4,9-dihydro-3H-β-carboline and other carboline alkaloids was previously reported to have biological activity (Al-Allaf et al., 1990). It is now well established that these classes of beta carboline alkaloids may occur under mild conditions in foods from a Pictet Spengler condensation of indoleamines such as L-tryptophan and short aliphatic aldehydes (Herraiz et al., 2003). Our present work intend to synthesize the titled compound and prepare it in salt form to investigate its safety and antiproliferative efficacy in cancer cell line.

The asymmetric unit of I contains two tetrahydroharmine cations, one zinc tetrachloride anion and two water molecules (Fig. 1). In these tetrahydroharmine cations, the maximum deviations for the two 1H-indole planes are 0.016 (2) and 0.018 (2) Å, respectively, for molecules A and B. The tetrahydropyridinium rings in both molecules show a half-chair conformation with the puckering parameters Q = 0.488 (3) Å, θ = 48.9 (4)°, φ = 24.3 (4)° for molecule A, and Q = 0.504 (3) Å, θ = 130.7 (3)°, φ = 206.6 (4)° for molecule B. The crystal structure has extensive intermolecular N—H···C, N—H···O, O—H···Cl, O—H···O and C—H···O interactions (Table 1) that link the three components into a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2). A ππ interaction with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.542 (14) Å is observed (Cg1 = N1A—C11A, Cg2 = C1B—C6B, -x, y + 1, -z + 1/2).

Experimental top

2M solution of hydrochloric acid in methanol was prepared by transferring 1.68 ml of 37% concentrated HCl acid into a 10 ml volumetric flask and was topped up to volume using methanol. The ZnCl2 (1 mmol, 136 mg) was weighed and 0.50 ml of 2M hydrochloric acid in methanol was added. Sonication was performed to aid dissolution. 6-methoxy-1-methyl-4,9-dihydro-3H-β-carboline (2.5 mmol, 540 mg) was weighed and 0.50 ml HPLC grade methanol was added. The solution was heated on water bath to facilitate dissolution. 0.50 ml of the ZnCl2 solution in 2M hydrochloric acid was then added to the 6-methoxy-1-methyl-4,9-dihydro-3H-β-carboline solution in methanol dropwise in a glass bottle. The side of the glass bottle was scratched with a small spatula and the bottle was kept in fridge at 4 °C for 5–7 days before yielding the colourless crystals of Bis(6-methoxy-1-methyl-4,9-dihydro-3H-β-carbolinium) tetrachloridozincatedihydrate which were filtered off, washed twice with acetone and air-dried. Crystals of the title compound, suitable to X-ray diffraction analysis, were selected directly from the samples as prepared.

Refinement top

O and N bound H atoms are located from a difference Fourier map and refined using a riding model. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.95–1.00 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C-methyl). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl groups.

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K.

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.
