In the title compound, C10H15N2O+·Cl−, the crystal packing is influenced by N—H⋯O and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, resulting in a layered structure.
Comment
The known title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), was prepared as an intermediate in the syntheses of new asymmetric catalysts, following the literature procedure of Ho et al. (2001).
All the geometrical parameters for (I) lie within their expected ranges (Allen et al., 1995). The of (I) is well defined and atom C7 has S configuration, as expected from the configuration of the equivalent C atom in the (S)-1-phenylethylamine starting material. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene ring (atoms C1–C6) and the C7/C9/C10/N1/O1 grouping is 66.14 (13)°.
The crystal packing in (I) is influenced by hydrogen bonds (Table 1). An N—H⋯O bond arising from the N1 group links the cations into chains propagating in the a direction. The –NH3 group participates in three N—H⋯Cl bonds [mean H⋯Cl = 2.32 Å, mean N⋯Cl = 3.183 (3) Å, mean N—H⋯Cl = 159°], which crosslink the [100] stacks in the b direction. The only intermolecular interactions in the c direction are (Fig. 2). A PLATON (Spek, 2003) analysis of (I) flagged a short intramolecular C—H⋯O distance (Fig. 1 and Table 1), although its structural significance – an attractive interaction or a repulsive steric contact – is not clear.
Experimental
N-Boc glycine (10 mmol, 1.75 g) was dissolved in dry THF (30 ml) in a dry flask under nitrogen. The solution was cooled to 195 K, and N-methyl morpholine (10 mmol, 1.01 g, 1.09 ml) was added with stirring. iBu-chloroformate (10 mmol, 1.36 g, 1.30 ml) was added, and the solution stirred for 30 min. (S)-1-Phenylethylamine (10 mmol, 1.21 g, 1.29 ml) was added in one portion and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was taken up in EtOAc (30 ml), washed with 10% aqueous Na2CO3 (20 ml), 0.1 M aqueous HCl (20 ml) and saturated brine (20 ml), then dried over Na2SO4 and filtered, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The resulting oil (1.37 g, 4.95 mmol) was dissolved in dry dichloromethane (DCM, 15 ml) and cooled to 273 K. Bubbling excess dry HCl through the reaction medium with stirring for 2 h allowed the collection of the desired product as a white precipitate, which was recrystallized from EtOH/Et2O (1.09 g, 89%). Slow evaporation of a DCM solution of the purified material produced colourless needles of (I) suitable for diffraction; m.p. 446–449 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. |

The known title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), was prepared as an intermediate in the syntheses of new asymmetric catalysts, following the literature procedure of Ho et al. (2001).
All the geometrical parameters for (I) lie within their expected ranges (Allen et al., 1995). The absolute structure of (I) is well defined and atom C7 has S conformation, as expected from the conformation of the equivalent C atom in the (S)-1-phenylethylamine starting material. The dihedral angle between the best planes of the benzene ring (atoms C1–C6) and the C7/C9/C10/N1/O1 grouping is 66.14 (13)°.
The crystal packing in (I) is influenced by hydrogen bonds (Table 1). An N—H···O bond arising from the N1 group links the molecules into chains propagating in the a direction. The –NH3 group participates in three N—H···Cl bonds [mean H···Cl = 2.32 Å, mean N···Cl = 3.183 (3) Å, mean N—H···Cl = 159°], which crosslink the [100] stacks in the b direction. The only intermolecular interactions in the c direction are van der Waals forces (Fig. 2). A PLATON (Spek, 2003) analysis of (I) flagged a short intramolecular C—H···O distance (Fig. 1 and Table 1), although its structural significance – an attractive interaction or a repulsive steric contact – is not clear.
