14-Benzoyl-mesaconine hydro-chloride methanol monosolvate.

The title compound, C(31)H(44)N(3)O(10) (+)·Cl(-)·CH(4)O, is the methanol solvate of 8-benzo-yloxy-,9,11,11a-tetra-hydroxy-6,10,13-trimeth-oxy-3-meth-oxy-methyl-1-methyl-tetra-deca-hydro-1H-3,6a,12-(epiethane-1,1,2-tri-yl)-7,9-methanona-phtho[2,3-b]azocin-1-ium chloride, the amine-protonated hydro-chloride of 14-benzoyl-mesaconine hydro-chloride. The cation has an aconitine carbon skeleton with four six-membered rings of which three display chair conformations and one a boat conformation, and two five-membered rings with envelope conformations. In the crystal, the components are connected into an infinite chain by inter- and intra-molecular O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
