The reaction of 1,4-dimethylpiperazine and 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid gives the title 1:1 salt, C6H15N2+·C11H7O3−, with a singly protonated piperazinium cation. In the crystal, a single N—H⋯O hydrogen bond links the cations and anions into discrete pairs and the aromatic anions stack along the crystallographic a-axis direction. This results in layers of cations and anions alternating along the crystallographic c-axis direction. An intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond is also present.

Addition of an equimolar amount of 1,4-dimethylpiperazine to an aqueous slurry of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid with stirring and heating to 323 K gave a clear solution. After cooling to room temperature, colourless crystals of (I) were deposited after 3 days.
All the H-atoms were placed in geometric positions and refined in riding modes. N—H and O—H distances were set to 0.91 and 0.83 Å respectively, with the best fit orientation of the OH group to observed electron density being found by allowing rotation about the C—O bond. C—H distances of 0.93, 0.96 and 0.97 Å were adopted for CH, CH2 and CH3 groups respectively. Uiso = 1.2Ueq of riden atom, except for CH3 and OH where Uiso = 1.5Ueq of riden atom.

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 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 > 2σ(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 influence of solid-state structure on salt selection in the pharmacy industry is of ongoing interest and importance (Stahl & Wermuth, 2002; Gould, 1986; Serajuddin, 2007). As a contribution towards this we have recently investigated series of salt structures based on both protonated tertiary amines and anions derived from aryl carboxylic acids (Arlin et al., 2011; Kennedy et al., 2011). Combining these two themes we present here the structure of 1,4-dimethylpiperazinium 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate (I).
Reaction of equimolar amounts of 1,4-dimethylpiperazine and 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid in an aqueous environment gave a 1:1 salt with the base monoprotonated to give 1,4-dimethylpiperazinium, see Fig. 1. A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002) found only three other examples of structures containing the monoprotonated base. All were RMCl3 structures (M = Co, Cu, Zn) with the non-protonated amine forming a bond to the metal centre (Clemente et al., 1999; Marzotto et al., 2001). In contrast there were 54 hits for the di-protonated cation, [C6N2H16]2+, with organic anions. This later group includes all the carboxylate based anions, including the only other aryl-carboxylate reported (Burchell et al., 2001). The molecular geometries of both ions in (I) are unexceptional. The near equal C—O lengths of the carboxylate group confirm its deprotonated nature. The piperazine ring exists in a chair conformation with equatorial methyl groups. Note that the C—N bond lengths of the protonated N2 atom are systematically longer than those involving the neutral atom N1.
Both potential hydrogen bond donors are utilized. The hydroxy group makes an internal hydrogen bond with one O atom of the carboxylate group whilst the the second O atom accepts an intermolecular hydrogen bond from NH of the cation, Table 1. This relatively limited hydrogen bonding results only in discrete cation-anion pairs being formed with no extended hydrogen bonding network. The aromatic anions stack along the crystallographic a direction in an offset manner such that the closest contact is between C2 of the carboxylate substituted ring and C11 of the non-substituted ring (C2···C11' = 3.576 (4) Å, ' = x + 1, y, z). The polar orientation of neighbouring anion stacks is reversed along the crystallographic c direction and this results in alternating layers of anions and cations as shown in Fig. 2.
