All reagents were of analytical grade and used without further purification. The title compound I was prepared by the general procedure (Findlay, 1957). The single crystals were obtained by evaporation of its methanol solution.
H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically with bond restraints N1–H1, other H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding, with C–H and O–H bond lengths constrained to 0.96Å for methyl, 0.97Å for methylene, 0.98Å for methine and 0.82Å for hydroxyl, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(methyl C and hydroxyl O) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(methylene and methine C).
The 2813 Friedel pairs were merged.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F^2^ against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F^2^, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F^2^. The threshold expression of F^2^ > σ(F^2^) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F^2^ are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The (RS)-(±)-2-carbomethoxy-3-tropinone, I is an important intermediate for preparation of cocaine and its derivatives (Meltzer et al., 1994). It could be resolved by recrystallizing its L- and D-bitartrates (Findlay, 1957). The molecular struture of I is the enol tautomer of the title compound. As shown on Fig. 1, the asymmetric unit of I contains a quaternary ammonium cation and a bitartrate. The 6-membered ring is nearly a chair conformation. The five-membered ring adopts nearly an envelope conformation with N1 atom deviation from C3/C4/C5/C6 plane 0.306 (2)Å. There are intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxyl, carboxyl and quaternary ammonium ions. The system of these H-bond with formation a two-dimensional network presented on Fig. 2. All bond lengths and angles in I are normal.
