Cyclobenzaprinium salicylate

Abstract

In the title molecular salt [systematic name: 3-(5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-ylidene)-N,N-dimethyl-1-propanaminium 2-hydroxybenzoate], C20H22N+·C7H5O3−, the benzene rings of the cyclobenzaprinium cation are inclined with a dihedral angle of 61.66 (7)°. An intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond occurs within the salicylate anion, generating an S(6) ring. In the crystal, the cation and anion are linked by an N—H...O interaction.
