Crystal and molecular structure of benactyzine hydrochloride (2-diethylaminoethyl benzilate hydrochloride), an antagonist of acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervous systems

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound (I) has been solved by direct methods. Crystals are triclinic, space group P, with a= 879·1(4), b= 1594·8(8), c= 709·1(6) pm, α= 95·73(1), β= 94·10(1), γ= 87·57(1)°, Z= 2. Data were collected on a diffractometer, and the structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares to R 0·104 (R′ 0·160) for 2116 significant observations.
