(1R,3S,5R,6S)-6-Acetoxy-8-methyl-3-(p-tolylsulfonyloxy)-8-azoniabicyclo[3.2.1]octane (2R,3R)-2,3-bis(benzoyloxy)-3-carboxypropanoate

The title compound, C17H24NO5S+·C18H13O8 −, is the key intermediate during the preparation of lesatropane [systematic name (1R,3S,5R,6S)-6-acetoxy-3-(4-methylphenylsulfonyloxy)tropane], a potential antiglaucoma agent. The tertiary N atom of the tropane ring is involved in intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, and the carboxylate groups are involved in intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding.
