N-Butyl-4-butyl­imino-2-methyl­pentan-2-aminium (E)-quercetinate

The title salt, C₁₄H₃₁N₂⁺·C₁₅H₉O₇⁻, was obtained in the reaction of quercetin with n-butyl­amine in a mixture of acetone and hexane. The crystal structure determination shows that the quercetin donates one of its phenol H atoms to the N-butyl-4-butyl­imino-2-methyl­pentan-2-amine mol­ecule. The crystal structure of the salt is stabilized by intramolecular (N—H...N for the cation and O—H...O for the anion) and intermolecular hydrogen bonding (N—H...O between cation–anion pairs and O—H...O between anions). Quercetin molecules form dimers connected into a two-dimensional network. The dihedral angle between the quercetin ring systems is 19.61 (8)°.
