Crystal structure of 3,6,6-trimethyl-4-oxo-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indazol-7-aminium chloride and its monohydrate

Abstract

The title compounds, C15H19N4O+·Cl−and C15H19N4O+·Cl−·H2O, obtained in attempts to synthesize metal complexes using tetrahydroindazole as a ligand, were characterized by NMR, IR and X-ray diffraction techniques. The partially saturated ring in the tetrahydroindazole core adopts a sofa conformation. An intramolecular N—H...N hydrogen bond formed by the protonated amino group and the N atom of the pyridyl substituent is found in the first structure. In the hydrochloride, the organic moieties are linked by two N—H...Cl−hydrogen bonds, forming aC(4) graph-set. In the hydrate crystal, a Cl−anion and a water molecule assemble the moieties into infinite bands showing hydrogen-bond patterns with graph setsC(6),R64(12) andR42(8). Organic moieties form π–π stacked supramolecular structures running along thebaxis in both structures.
