1-(2-[4-[6-Hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)benzo[b]thiol-3-ylcarbonyl]phenoxy]ethyl)piperidinium chloride.
The title compound, raloxifene hydrochloride, C(28)H(28)NO(4)S(+).-Cl(-), belongs to the benzothiophene class of antiosteoporotic drugs. In the molecular cation, the 2-phenol ring sustains a dihedral angle of 45.3 (1) degrees relative to the benzo[b]thiophene system. The benzo[b]thiophene and phenyl ring planes are twisted with respect to the carbonyl plane, with the smallest twist component occurring between the phenyl and carbonyl planes. The N atom bears the positive charge in the molecular cation and the piperidine ring adopts an almost perfect chair conformation. The Cl(-) anion is involved in the formation of N-H...Cl and O-H...Cl intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which lead to the formation of a layer of molecular cations.
