N-6-Furfuryladenine (kinetin) hydrochloride

In the title compound, N-6-furfuryladenin-3-ium chloride, C10H10N5O+.Cl-, the adenine moiety exists as the N3-protonated N7-H tautomer. The orientation of the N6 substituent (furfuryl moiety) is distal to the imidazole ring of the adenine base. The dihedral angle between the adenine plane and the furfuryl ring plane is 76.1 (2)degrees. Three N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds are responsible for the formation of a supramolecular chain-like pattern. These supramolecular chains are interconnected by C-H...Cl hydrogen bonds to form a hydrogen-bonded sheet and a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network.
