Abstract:
The title compound, bis-(oxotremorine) fumarate bis-(fumaric acid) {systematic name: 1-[4-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)but-2-yn-yl]pyrrolidinium (2E)-but-2-ene-di-o-ate bis-[(2E)-but-2-enedioic acid]}, 2C12H19N2O+·C4H2O4 2-·2C4H4O4, has a single oxotremorine monocation protonated at the pyrrolidine nitro-gen, one fumaric acid mol-ecule and half of a fumarate dianion in the asymmetric unit. The ions and fumaric acid mol-ecules are held together by N-H⋯O and O-H-⋯O hydrogen bonds in 40-membered rings with graph-set notation R 6 6(40). The fumarate ions join these rings into infinite chains along [001].

Melatonin congeners like ramelteon (Rozerem) and tasimelteon (Hetlioz) selectively bind to melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and thus mimic the actions of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Tasimelteon is primarily used for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, common in blind patients. They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia...
