The title compound, C16H26NO2 (+)·C7H5O2 (-), is a benzoate salt of the painkiller Tramadol. The six-membered cyclo-hexane ring of the cation adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation and carries OH and 3-meth-oxy-phenyl substituents at the 2-position and a protonated methyl-aza-niumylmethyl group at the 3-position. In addition, a weak intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond is observed in the cation. In the crystal, weak O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into chains along [010]. A C-H⋯π contact is also observed.
