The fumarate salts of the N-isopropyl-N-methyl derivatives of DMT and psilocin

The solid-state structures of two substituted tryptamine salts—MiPT fumarate and 4-HO-MiPT fumarate monohydrate—were determined. Both salts contain a protonated tryptammonium cation and a hydrogen fumarate anion; the 4-HO-MiPT structure additionally includes a water molecule. The side chains of both cations are disordered over two orientations, with occupancy ratios of 0.630:0.370 for MiPT and 0.775:0.225 for 4-HO-MiPT. In both crystal structures, N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds form infinite two-dimensional networks.

Abstract

The solid-state structures of the salts of two substituted tryptamines, namely N -isopropyl- N -methyltryptaminium (MiPT) fumarate {systematic name: [2-(1 H -indol-3-yl)ethyl](methyl)propan-2-ylazanium 3-carboxyprop-2-enoate}, C 14 H 21 N 2 + ·C 4 H 3 O 4 − , and 4-hydroxy- N -isopropyl- N -methyltryptaminium (4-HO-MiPT) fumarate monohydrate {systematic name: [2-(4-hydroxy-1 H -indol-3-yl)ethyl](methyl)propan-2-ylazanium 3-carboxyprop-2-enoate monohydrate}, C 14 H 21 N 2 O + ·C 4 H 3 O 4 − ·H 2 O, are reported. Both salts possess a protonated tryptammonium cation and a 3-carboxyacrylate (hydrogen fumarate) anion in the asymmetric unit; the 4-HO-MiPT structure also contains a water molecule of crystallization. Both cations feature disorder of the side chain over two orientations, in a 0.630 (3):0.370 (3) ratio for MiPT and a 0.775 (5):0.225 (5) ratio for 4-HO-MiPT. In both extended structures, N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds generate infinite two-dimensional networks.
