Abstract:
The solid-state structures of two solvated forms of 4-glutarato-N,N-diiso-propyl-tryptamine were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, namely, 5-[(3-{2-[bis(propan-2-yl)azaniumyl]ethyl}-1H-indol-4-yl)oxy]-5-oxopentanoate meth-anol monosolvate, C21H30N2O4·CH3OH, and the analogous ethanol monosolvate, C21H30N2O4·C2H6O. In both compounds, the 4-glutarato-N,N-di-iso--pro-pyl-tryptamine exists as a zwitterion with a protonated tertiary ammonium and a deprotonated glutarato carboxyl-ate. The tryptamine zwitterions and alcohol solvates in both structures combine to produce near identical hydrogen-bonding networks, with N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds joining the mol-ecules together in two-dimensional networks parallel to the (100) plane.

Preparation of Ethers by Alcohol Dehydration
In this method, in the presence of protic acids, alcohol dehydrates to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example, in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 413 K yields ethoxyethane, whereas it yields ethene at 443 K.
