In the cation of the title compound [systematic name: 1-(3-cyclohexyl-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropyl)piperidinium chloride], C
20H
32NO
+·Cl
−, the cyclohexyl and piperidine rings are in chair conformations. In the crystal structure, cations and anions are linked into chains along the
c-axis direction
via O—H

Cl and N—H

Cl hydrogen bonds. Weak intermolecular C—H

Cl interactions link further these chains into layers parallel to the
bc plane. The salt, obtained from a racemic solution, was found to crystallize in the chiral
P2
12
12 space group, indicating that, in the absence of any evident chirality-inducing process, the polycrystalline powders consist of an equivalent mixture of
R and
S enantiomers, forming a racemic conglomerate.

Samples of the racemic mixture of the title compound were kindly provided by Dr.
C. Pellegatta (Solmag, Divisione di Fidia Farmaceutici S.p.A., Garbagnate
Milanese, Italy)
Approximate cell parameters for 1 were determined by the SVD indexing
algorithm present in the program TOPAS-R (Coelho, 2005), using
the
first 20 peak positions, M(20) = 31. Structure solution was initiated
by employing a semi-rigid molecular fragment (flexible about five torsion
angles) taken from the known crystal structure of THPD (see Camerman &
Camerman 1972a) and a freely floating Cl- anion. Simulated
annealing
allowed the location and orientation of the used fragments, later refined by
the Rietveld method, using the independent atom model for non-H atoms
(geometrically restrained to achieve convergence to a chemically plausible
structure) and idealized H-atom positions. The diffraction profile and the
difference between the measured and calculated profiles are shown in Fig. 3.

The title compound, THPD-HCl (THPD = trihexyphenidyl) (1), crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group P21212, thus powders of 1 are formed by an equivalent mixture of enantiomorphic crystals in a racemic conglomerate. 1 consists of an ionic packing of N-protonated cations and chloride anions. The organic cation is formed by a phenyl and a cyclohexyl groups connected to the asymmetric carbon atom (C3) which is further linked to an hydroxyl group and to a protonated N-ethyl piperidine moiety (see Fig. 1). Trihexyphenidyl hydrochloride (1), is a salt used in the treatment of all forms of Parkinson's disease. Trihexyphenidyl and other pharmacological agents of the same class, such as procyclidine hydrochloride and biperiden, were completely characterized by single-crystal X-ray analyses (Camerman & Camerman, 1971a, 1972a; Codding, 1986; Marubayashi et al., 1999), which showed some common stereochemical features which were correlated to their common pharmacological activity. The presence of the electron donating OH group and of the heterocyclic nitrogen has been considered as the typical stereochemical feature of these compounds.The distance between the two groups is 4.00 Å, 2.76 Å and 3.55 Å for 1, THPD, biperiden and procyclidine hydrochloride, in sequence. The shorter N—O distance observed in THPD allows the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds O—H···N. At variance, 1 and procyclidine hydrochloride form intermolecular hydrogen bonds through chloride anions. In the crystal, the NH group is pointing away from the direction of the OH group, allowing the formation of molecular chains running along the c axis, through intermolecular O—H···Cl and N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 1). Moreover, weaker C—H···Cl interactions (Table 1) link the chains in a three-dimensional network.
