Crystal structure of levomepromazine maleate

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C(19)H(25)N(2)OS(+)·C(4)H(3)O(4) (−) [systematic name: (S)-3-(2-meth­oxy­pheno­thia­zin-10-yl)-N,N,2-tri­methyl­propanaminium hydrogen maleate], comprises two (S)-levomepromazine cations and two hydrogen maleate anions. The conformations of the two cations are similar. The major difference relates to the orientation of the meth­oxy substituent at the pheno­thia­zine ring system. The crystal components form a three-dimensional supra­molecular network via N—H⋯O, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions. A comparison of the conformations of the levomepromazine cations with those of the neutral mol­ecule and similar protonated mol­ecules reveals significant conformational flexibility of the pheno­thia­zine ring system and the substituent at the pheno­thia­zine N atom.
