The title compound, C12H20N2O4, represents one example of a zwitterionic imidazolium salt with a carboxylate group at the 2-position of the imidazolium ring. The dihedral angle between the heterocyclic ring and the carboxylate group is 31.3 (1)°. The side chain linking the N atom of the ring and the methine C atom has a gauche–anti–anti conformation [torsion angles = −60.3 (2), −175.7 (2) and 178.7 (2)°, respectively]. In the crystal, molecules are linked by short C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the C—H groups in the aromatic ring to generate (001) sheets.

1-(5,5-dimethoxypentyl)-3-methyl-imidazolium-2-carboxylate is obtained from the reaction of 2.0 g (7.8 mmol) 1-(5,5-dimethoxypentyl)-imidazole heated to 120° C in an autoclave for 3 h together with 10 ml of methanol and 10 ml of dimethylcarbonate after removal of the solvent and re-crystallization from small amounts of methanol in 55% yield. 1-(5,5-dimethoxypentyl)-imidazole has been prepared by alkylation of imidazole with 1-chloro-5,5-dimethoxypentane.
The positions of all H atoms are calculated on geometrical positions according to the
of the atoms they are bound to. The isotropic U values of the hydrogen atoms are refined group-wisely.Data collection: SMART (Bruker, 1997); cell

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. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to an optimum R1 value with SHELXL. The data of the structure have been deposited at the CCDC with the reference number 962824. |

1-(5,5-Dimethoxypentyl)-3-methyl-imidazolium-2-carboxylate is one example for only a few in the literature reported zwitterions consisting of a positively charged imidazolium ring carrying in 2-position a carboxylato group (see Figure 1). The C—O bond distances in the carboxylato group are determined to 1.234 (2) and 1.238 (8) Å and are therefor comparable to those of Holbrey et al. (2003), Gurau et al. (2011), or Smiglak et al. (2007). Within the imidazoliumcarboxylate-unit complete delocalization of the π-electrons is possible. However, the embedding of the carboxylato group of 1-(5,5-dimethoxypentyl)-3-methyl-imidazolium-2-carboxylate in the formation of intermolecular H-bridge bonds (H3···O2 2.30 Å and H4···O1 2.30 Å) causes a distortion from the planarity (torsion angle N1—C1—C2—O1 -29.6 °, see figure 2, 3). The imidazolium rings are placed approximately in the a,b-plane of the elementary cell around the middle of the c axis and the center of the cell whereas the in 1-position placed 5,5-dimethoxypentyl-substituent is oriented parallelly to the c axis perpendicularly to the imidazole ring monstrating versus the next layer of imidazolium rings in the next cell (figure 3). By this arrangement the 5,5-dimethoxypentyl-substituents form an unpolar region in the cell enabling the formation of van-der-Waals interactions to those of neighboured molecules. Another example of a zwitterionic imidazolium based molecule with to different substituents in 1,3-position of the imidazolium unit is reported in Reichert et al. (2010). In the reported structure the negative charge equilibrating the positive one of the imidazolium ring is a 3-sulfonatopropyl-group. The charges are separated, due to this and the shortness of the propyl-group the complete molecular arrangment in the cell is different and not comparable. However a comparison of the structural features of the imidazolium ring in 1-(5,5-dimethoxypentyl)-3-methyl-imidazolium-2-carboxylate to those of the other in the literature reported imidazolium based carboxylates show a general and high congruency.
