4-[(E)-(2,4-Difluoro-phen-yl)(hydroxy-imino)meth-yl]piperidinium picrate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(12)H(15)F(2)N(2)O(+)·C(6)H(2)N(3)O(7) (-), a picrate salt of 4-[(E)-(2,4-difluoro-phen-yl)(hydroxy-imino)meth-yl]piper-idine, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in a cation-anion pair in the asymmetric unit. In the cation, a methyl group is tris-ubstituted by hydroxy-imino, piperidin-4-yl and 2,4-difluoro-phenyl groups, the latter of which contains an F atom disordered over two positions in the ring [occupancy ratio 0.631 (4):0.369 (4)]. The mean plane of the hydr-oxy group is in a synclinical conformation nearly orthogonal [N-C-C-C = 72.44 (19)°] to the mean plane of the piperidine ring, which adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean plane of the 2,4-difluoro-phenyl and piperidin-4-yl groups is 60.2 (3)°. In the pi
