Hydrogen‐bonding interactions in the 4‐aminobenzoic acid salt of atenolol monohydrate

Atenolol {or 4‐[2‐hydroxy‐3‐(isopropylamino)propoxy]phenylacetamide} crystallizes with 4‐aminobenzoic acid to give the salt {3‐[4‐(aminocarbonylmethyl)phenoxy]‐2‐hydroxypropyl}isopropylammonium 4‐aminobenzoate monohydrate, C₁₄H₂₃N₂O₃⁺·C₇H₆NO₂⁻·H₂O. In the crystal structure, the water molecule, the carboxylate group of 4‐aminobenzoate, and the hydroxy and ether O atoms of atenolol form a supramolecular R₃³(11) heterosynthon. Three other types of supramolecular synthons link the asymmetric unit into a two‐dimensional structure.
