To a solution (S)-4-chloromandelate (2.0 g, 0.01 mol) in 10 ml 2-propanol, (1.3 mL, 0.01 mol), (R)-Phenylethylammonium, was added gradually. A white crystalline solid appeared. The crystals were collected and washed with 2-propanol twice to give the title compound (1.85 g), yield 56%. Single crystals were grown from a concentrated methanol solution of the title compound by slow evaporation at room temperature.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and constrained as riding atoms with; C—H = 1.00Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for methyne H atoms, C—H = 0.98Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms, C—H = 0.95Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms, O—H = 0.84Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for hydroxyl H atoms and N—H = 0.91Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for amine H atoms.

Experimental. Absorption correction: multi-scan from symmetry-related measurements (SORTAV; Blessing, 1995). M.p. 140.8–142.5 K. The specific rotation was [α]25D = +50.5° (c=1, C1H3OH), determined using a Perkin Elmer Model 341 Digital Polarimeter; 1H-NMR (d6-DMSO/TMS): δ 1.424 (d, 3H, CH3), 4.300 (m, 1H, CHNH2), 4.536 (s, 1H, CHOH), 7.268–7.457 (m, 9H, C6H5 and C6H4Cl) measured using an INOVA 400 MHz NMR (Varian). |
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. |

In our previous work, phenylethylamine (PEA) has been proven to be an efficient resolving agent for resolution of racemic 4-chloromandelic acid. In order to further investigate the chiral recognition mechanism, the single-crystal structure of the corresponding more soluble salt, (R)-Phenylethylammonium (S)-4-chloromandelate, is reported here for comparison with that of the less soluble salt (R)-Phenylethylammonium (R)-4-chloromandelate (He et al., 2007).
The title complex consists of an ion pair; an amine cation and a carboxylate anion (see Fig. 1). The absolute stereochemistry of each ion has been confirmed by the structure determination [absolute structure parameter -0.03 (8); (Flack, 1983)]. All three H atoms of the –NH3 group and the H atom of the O—H group act as hydrogen bond donors in intermolecular O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network perpendicular to the c axis. The hydrogen bond motif in the title compound is different to that observed in the room temperature structure of the R,R diastereomer (He et al., 2007).
