To a solution of 4-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile (3.0 g, 22.55 mole) dissolved in 20 ml dry THF, cooled in an ice bath, was added (14.5 ml, 23.2 mmol) n-BuLi (1.6 M, hexane) drop wise. After the addition was complete the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes then (4.5 g, 26.3 mmol) benzyl bromide was added slowly. 20 ml of THF and 15 ml of HMPA were added to the mixture while the flask was in the ice bath. The mixture was stirred for an additional 1 h in the ice bath and 4 h at RT. Aqueous work up gave a solid, m.p 335–336 K,(3.5 g 70% yield)) of 4-benzyloxyphenylacetonitrile. Alkylation of (2.0 g, 8.97 mmol) (III) by treatment with (6 ml, 9.6 mmol) of n-BuLi (1.6M, hexanes) then chloromethyltrimethylsilane (1.14 g, 9.33 mmol) for 2 h at RT and work up to give (1.35 g, 48.7% yield) of 2-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-3-trimethylsilyl-propionitrile m.p. 376–377 K. Reduction of (1.0 g, 3.23 mmol) of IV in 10 ml of dry THF with (0.5 ml, 5.0 mmol) of BH3.DMS (10 M in DMS) followed by acid hydrolysis with HCl and neutralization with NaOH pellets then product isolation and acidification (HCl) gave a white solid (0.81 g, 72% yield). m.p. 468–469 K of 1-(4-Benzyloxy-phenyl)-2-trimethylsilanyl-ethyl-ammonium chloride. Catalytic hydrogenation of (0.5 g, 1.43 mmol) of in 60 ml of ethanol and 0.2 g Pd/C (10%) gave a white solid (0.25 g, 67% yield) of the title compound. A sample was taken and dissolved in water then the solvent was allowed to evaporate slowly to provide clear crystals of the title compound used for X-ray measurements.

The title compound is a substituted α-phenyethylaminium chloride. Phenylethyl are substrates for dopamine-β-hydroxylase and are of biological importance. Silicon substituted phenylethyl have been investigated for biological activity and use as insecticides and have applications as pharmaceuticals (Frankel et al. 1968). These compounds can be viewed as substituted 3-silylpropylamines, where they have application in monolayer construction and nanotechnology (Li et al. 2009) and use in oil recovery via reverse ionic liquids (Blasucci et al., 2010). Phenylethyl are important building blocks in isoquinoline alkaloid synthesis via Pictet–Spengler (Lorenz et al. 2010). A related structure has been reported (Hijji et al., 2011).
In view of the importance of these compounds the structure of 4-(2-ammonium-1-trimethylsilanylmethyl-ethyl)-phenol chloride, is reported herein. The title compound is a hydrochloride salt and the Cl- anion forms hydrogen bonds with both the NH3+ and phenol groups forming R24(22) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995) as shown in Fig. 2. In the crystal, anions and cations are linked via O—H···Cl, N—H···Cl and N—H···O hydrogen bonds to form a two-dimensional network parallel to (101) as is shown in Fig. 3. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are in normal ranges.

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 title compound is a substituted α-phenyethylaminium chloride. Phenylethyl amines are substrates for dopamine-β-hydroxylase and are of biological importance. Silicon substituted phenylethyl amines have been investigated for biological activity and use as insecticides and have applications as pharmaceuticals (Frankel et al. 1968). These compounds can be viewed as substituted 3-silylpropylamines, where they have application in monolayer construction and nanotechnology (Li et al. 2009) and use in oil recovery via reverse ionic liquids (Blasucci et al., 2010). Phenylethyl amines are important building blocks in isoquinoline alkaloid synthesis via Pictet–Spengler (Lorenz et al. 2010). A related structure has been reported (Hijji et al., 2011).
In view of the importance of these compounds the structure of 4-(2-ammonium-1-trimethylsilanylmethyl-ethyl)-phenol chloride, is reported herein. The title compound is a hydrochloride salt and the Cl- anion forms hydrogen bonds with both the NH3+ and phenol groups forming R24(22) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995) as shown in Fig. 2. In the crystal, anions and cations are linked via O—H···Cl, N—H···Cl and N—H···O hydrogen bonds to form a two-dimensional network parallel to (101) as is shown in Fig. 3. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are in normal ranges.
