Abstract
In the title molecular salt, C9H14NOS+·Cl−, the crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular N—H⋯Cl, C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯π interactions, which lead to the formation of a two-dimensional supramolecular layer which stacks along the b axis.

Comment
The title salt, (I), C9H14NOS+, Cl-, is an intermediate in the synthesis of duloxetine, which is a new generation drug indicated for the management of major depressive disorders as well as for neuropathic pain (Waitekus & Kirkpatrick, 2004). Duloxetine is a dual re-uptake inhibitor with actions on serotonin as well as norepinephrine (Gupta et al., 2007). The crystal structures of related structures, (R)-3-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-3-(2-thienyl)-propanamine (Tao et al., 2006), N,N-dimethyl-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-3-(2-thienyl)propan-1-amine (Tao et al., 2008) and duloxetine hydrochloride (Bhadbhade et al., 2009) have been reported. In view of the importance of duloxetine, the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), is reported.
In the molecular salt, C9H14NOS+, Cl-, one cation-anion pair makes up the asymmetric unit (Fig. 1). The crystal packing is stabilized by weak N—H···Cl, C—H···Cl and C—H..Cgπ-ring intermolecular interactions (Table 1) forming a 2-D supramolecular layer which stacks along the b axis (Fig. 2).
Experimental
The title compound was obtained as a gift sample from R. L. Fine chem., Bangalore. X-ray quality crystals were obtained from slow evaporation of methanol solution (M.pt.: 451–454 K).
Refinement
The N—H atom was located from a difference Fourier map and refined with N—H = 0.87±0.02 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.19Ueq(N). All of the remaining H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model with C—H lengths of 0.95 Å (CH), 0.99 Å (CH2) or 0.98 Å (CH3). The isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.20 (CH), 1.19 (CH2) or 1.49–1.51 (CH3) times Ueq of the parent atom.

Special details
| Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
| Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
