Abstract

The solid-state structures of the synthetic psychedelic 5-methoxy- N , N -di- n -propyltryptamine (5-MeO-DPT) {systematic name: N -[2-(5-methoxy-1 H -indol-3-yl)ethyl]- N -propylpropan-1-amine}, C 17 H 25 N 2 O, and its fumarate salt, bis(5-methoxy- N , N -di- n -propyltryptammonium) fumarate (systematic name: bis{ N -[2-(5-methoxy-1 H -indol-3-yl)ethyl]- N -propylpropan-1-aminium} but-2-enedioate), 2C 17 H 25 N 2 O + ·C 4 H 2 O 4 2− , are reported. The freebase has a single tryptamine molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecules are linked together by N—H...N hydrogen bonds in zigzag chains along the [010] direction. The fumarate salt has a single tryptammonium cation and half of a fumarate dianion in the asymmetric unit. The tryptammonium and fumarate ions are held together in one-dimensional chains by a series of N—H...O hydrogen bonds. These chains are combinations of R 4 4 (22) rings, and C 2 2 (14) and C 4 4 (28) parallel chains along [001].
