The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C16H17ClNO2S+·HSO4
−, (I) [systematic name: (+)-(S)-5-[(2-chlorophenyl)(methoxycarbonyl)methyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridin-5-ium hydrogen sulfate], contains two independent cations of clopidogrel and two independent hydrogensulfate anions. The two independent cations are of similar conformation; however, this differs from that observed in orthorhombic form (II) [Bousquet et al. (2003 ▶). US Patent No. 6 504 030]. The H—N—Cchiral—H fragment shows a trans conformation in both independent cations in (I) and a gauche conformation in (II). In (I), classical intermolecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link two independent cations and two independent anions into an isolated cluster, in which two cations interact with one anion only via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds further consolidate the crystal packing.
The synthesis of ortho-substituted (S)-1-phenethylamines via ortho-lithiation of its N,N-dimethyl derivative followed by reactions with different reagents is described. Circular dichroism spectra of synthesized compounds were measured. It is shown that the observed short-wave Cotton effects greatly depend on the existence of cyclic structure due to possible interactions such as hydrogen bond or electrostatic interaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
