N-(2-Benzoylethyl)propan-2-aminium chloride

Abstract

In the title salt, C12H18NO+· Cl-, N - H⋯Cl interactions between the free chloride anions and the organic cations connect the molecules into hydrogen-bond dimers, forming a R22(8) motif. The dimers are linked by C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains extending along [301]. The carbonyl group is co-planar with the phenyl ring [C - C - C=O torsion angle = -3.3 (7)°]. The side chain has an E conformation.
