Abstract
The title compound exists as a C14H18N5O3+ cation and a Cl- anion. The apic al N atom of the piperazine ring shows quaternary character due to proton t ransfer from HCl. The fused pyridine and pyrimidine rings are nearly coplan ar and the piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation. The carboxyl and ca rbonyl O atoms are involved in an O-H...O intramolecular hydrogen bond and the Cl- anion is involved in an N-H...Cl intermolecular hydrogen bond with the quaternary N atom.
