7-(2,2-Dimethylpropanamido)-2-methyl-1,8-naphthyridin-1-ium chloride monohydrate
Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H18N3O+·Cl−·H2O, comprises a substituted amido–naphthyridine cation, a chloride anion and a water molecule of crystallization. Intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds generate six-membered rings, producing an S(6) ring motif. The amido group is twisted from the naphthyridine ring, making a dihedral angle of 17.65 (7)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular N—H...O, N—H...Cl, O—H...Cl (× 2), and C—H...O (× 2) hydrogen bonds. These interactions linked neighbouring molecules into chains along the a and b axes of the crystal, thus forming molecular sheets parallel to the (001) plane.
