The title compound, C11H13N2O+·Cl−·2H2O, the dihydrate of (+)-vasicinol hydrochloride, is a pyrrolidinoquinazoline alkaloid. It was isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of the leaves of Peganum harmala L. The pyrrolidine ring has an with the C atom at position 2 acting as the flap and the C atom at position 3, carrying the hydroxyl substituent, has an S configuration. The was determined as a result of the of the Cl atom. In the molecules stack along the a axis, connected to one another via intermolecular O—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming approximately triangular-shaped R21(7) rings, and O—H⋯Cl and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming pentagonal-shaped R54(10) rings. The overall effect is a ribbon-like arrangement running parallel to the a axis.

Peganum harmala L is a member of the family Zygophyllaceae (Hilal & Youngken, 1983). This plant is commonly distributed in the Attock District, Islamabad, including the Margalla Hills, Gilgit: Chilas, Yasin, Gupis, Phunder, Hunza, Skardu. The leaves of the plant were collected from the Margalla Hills, Islamabad and the sample was deposited in the herbarium of Quaid-i-Azam University (ISL) under the accession No. 123774 and 123775. The air dried leaves were powdered and extracted three times with methanol. The extracts were and concentrated to a semi-solid mass. Water was added to this semi-solid mass to form a paste. The extract was then fractioned using different solvents according to their increasing polarity. The title compound was isolated from the ethylacetate fraction of the leaves of Peganum harmala L as colourless rod-like crystals.
The
of the title compound was determined as a result of the of the Cl-atom: Flack x parameter = -0.0044 with e.s.d. 0.0644; Hooft y Parameter Value = 0.0024 with e.s.d. 0.0478. The hydrogen atoms were located in difference Fourier maps. The C-bound H-atoms were freely refined: C—H = 0.92 (2) - 1.04 (2) Å. The O—H and N—H bond distances were restrained to 0.87 (2) and 0.82 (2) %A, respectively: O—H = 0.89 (2) Å and N—H = 0.821 (17) Å. The water H-atoms were refined with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O): O—H = 0.79 (4) - 0.89 (3) Å.Data collection: EXPOSE in IPDS-I (Stoe & Cie, 2000); cell

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

Peganum harmala L is a member of the family Zygophyllaceae (Hilal and Youngken, 1983). This plant is commonly distributed in the Attock District, Islamabad, including the Margalla Hills. Several alkaloids have been isolated from the seeds and roots of this plant and have been identified as chemicals with a β-carboline structure, such as harmine, harmaline, harmalol, and harman (Bailey, 1986; Rizk, 1986), or with a quinazoline structure, such as vasicine and vasicinon (Openshaw, 1953; Bailey, 1986; Joshi et al., 1996). Here we report on the crystal structure of the title compound, the dihydrate of (+)Vasicinol hydrochloride. It is a pyrrolidino-quinazoline alkaloid and was isolated from the ethylacetate fraction of the leaves of Peganum harmala L, collected from the Margalla Hills, Islamabad.
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. Dimensions are similar to those observed in other pyrrolidino-quinazoline alkaloids (Joshi et al., 1996; Tashkhodzhaev et al., 1995; Turgunov et al., 1995; Szulzewsky et al., 1976). The title compound crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group P212121. The crystal structure of (+)-Vasicinol hydrobromide has been reported previously (Joshi et al., 1996), and crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P21, with two independent molecules per asymmetric unit.
The pyrrolidine ring has an envelope conformation on atom C2; the puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) are Q(2) = 0.243 (2) Å, and ϕ(2) = 253.8 (5)°. The carbon atom carrying the hydroxyl substituent, atom C3, has a S-configuration. The absolute configuration of the title compound was determined as a result of the anomalous scattering of the Cl-atom.
In the crystal the molecules stacks up the a axis and are connected to one another via a series of O—H···Cl, N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds, with approximately triangular-shaped R12(7) rings (Bernstein et al., 1995) and O—H···Cl and O—H···O hydrogen bonds, forming pentagonal-shaped R54(10) rings [see Fig. 2 and Table 1]. In this way a ribon-like arrangement is formed running parallel to the a axis. The same triangular arrangement, involving O—H···halide- and N—H···halide- hydrogen bonds, is also observed in the crystal packing of (+)-Vasicine hydrobromide (Fig. 3; Joshi et al., 1996).
