(Received 16 December 2008; accepted 11 March 2009; online 19 March 2009)

The title compound {systematic name: [1-(carboxy­meth­yl)cyclo­hexyl]methanaminium 2,4,6-trinitro­phenolate}, C9H18NO2+·C6H2N3O7, was synthesized from picric acid and gabapentin. The crystal packing is stabilized by intra­molecular N—H⋯O=N and N—H⋯O—Ph hydrogen bonds. An O—H⋯O inter­action is also present.

Comment top

Gabapentin, (1-(aminomethyl) cyclohexane acetic acid; Neurontin), is a novel anticonvulsant agent and has therapeutically beneficial effects against chronic pain states and anxiety (Bryans & Wustrow, 1999). Gabapentin is a zwitterion in the solid state (Ibers, 2001). On the other hand, picric acid forms salts or charge-transfer complexes with many organic compounds and we have reported crystal structures of a number of picrate complexes with organic compounds of pharmaceutical importance viz. desipraminium picrate (Swamy et al., 2007). The present paper reports the crystal structure of the title compound, (1-(carboxymethyl)cyclohexyl)methanaminium 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate.

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized by mixing solutions of picric acid (4.59 g, 0.01 mol) in 20 ml of distilled water and gabapentin (1.72 g, 0.01 mol) in 20 ml of distilled water and the resulting solution was stirred well for 10 min. A yellow precipitate of gabapentinium picrate was formed almost instantaneously after stirring. The so formed yellow complex was filtered off, washed with distilled water and dried in vacuo over anhydrous calcium chloride. The compound was purified by successive recrystallization from methanol (yield 92%). Single crystals for X-ray studies were grown by slow evaporation of a methanol solution. Analysis (%) found (calculated) for C15H20N4O9: C: 44.68 (45.00); H: 5.11 (5.04); N: 13.73 (13.99)%.

Refinement top

All H atoms were placed at calculated positions and refined using a riding model approximation, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
