Structure description
Bufotenidine, the N,N,N-trimethyl analog of serotonin, was first identified in toad secretions in 1934 (Wieland et al., 1934). This is one of many indoalkylamines found in the secretions of the Colorado River toad, including bufotenine (5-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine), 5-MeO-DMT (5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine), 5-methoxytryptophol, and bufoviridine. The primary psychedelic in these secretions, 5-MeO-DMT, has been studied individually to treat anxiety and depression (Davis et al., 2019). The inhalation of vaporized dried toad secretions has also been examined in the treatment of depression, anxiety and stress (Uthaug et al., 2019). As this area of research continues, it will be important to understand the difference between pure 5-MeO-DMT and natural toad secretions, to understand the significance of each component, and examine if an entourage effect is present (Bauer, 2020). To this end, we have begun to examine some of the minor components of these secretions, and report the first single-crystal structure of the natural product bufotenidine herein.
In the solid-state structure of bufotenidine iodide, the 5-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethyltryptammonium cation and the iodide anion are held together in the via O—H⋯I hydrogen bonds (Fig. 1). The cation possesses a near planar indole group with a mean deviation from planarity of 0.010 Å. The ethylamino group is turned away from the plane with a C1—C8—C9—C10 torsion angle of 92.6 (3)°. The N—H of the indole ring hydrogen bonds with a symmetry generated iodide. The N—H⋯I and O—H⋯I hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the ions together in infinite chains along the [100] direction with graph-set notation C21(9) (Etter et al., 1990). The packing of 5-HTQ iodide is shown in Fig. 2.

The structure of the closely related natural product from toad secretions, bufotenine, 5-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (BUFTEN: Falkenberg, 1972) has been previously reported. There are only six reported structures of quaternary tryptamines, which are all from the past year. Those are the iodide salts of 4-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethyltryptamine (4-HO-TMT) and 4-acetoxy-N,N,N-trimethyltryptamine (4-AcO-TMT) (XUXFAA and XUXDUS; Chadeayne, Pham, Reid et al., 2020), N,N-dimethyl-N-n-propyltryptamine (DMPT) and N,N-dimethyl-N-allyltryptamine (DMALT) (CCDC 2017817 and CCDC 2017818; Chadeayne, Pham, Golen & Manke, 2020), 5-methoxy-2-methyl-N,N,N-trimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-2-Me-TMT) and its hydrate (CCDC 2058144 and CCDC 2058145; Pham et al., 2021).
Synthesis and crystallization
5-Hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethyltryptammonium iodide was prepared according to literature procedure (Adhikari et al., 2015), and crystals suitable for diffraction study were grown from the evaporation of a methanol solution.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. The H atoms bonded to C were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for CH2 and C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for CH and with C—H = 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for CH3. The H atoms bonded to O and N were refined isotropically with a distance restraint of 0.86 (1) Å for O—H and N—H. |
