Abstract

The crystal structures of two tetracycline derivatives, 4-dedimethylaminotetracycline hydrate and 6-methylene-5-oxytetracycline hydrochloride (methacycline·HCl), were determined using X-ray intensity data measured on a diffractometer. The first compound crystallizes with two chemical formula and one water molecule per asymmetric unit. The monoclinic crystal [a=7.174(5),b=12.029(9),c=21.117(15) Å,β=93.16(6)°] shows the space groupP21. Crystals of methacycline hydrochloride are orthorhombic, space groupP212121,a=9.472(1),b=11.921(3),c=18.945(4)Å, with one molecule in the asymmetric unit.
