(4-Chloromethyl-4-hydroxy-3-phenylthiazolidin-2-ylidene)ammonium chloride acetone solvate

J. D. Crane and A. E. Sparke

Abstract: At 150  K, the title compound, C₁₀H₁₂ClN₂OS⁺·Cl^-·C₃H₆O, exists as discrete hydrogen-bonded [2  +  2]-dimers of cations and chloride anions. Of the two possible thiazolidin-2-ylideneammonium cations that may be formed by the reaction of 1,3-dichloroacetone with N-phenylthiourea, the reported isomer is unable to eliminate water to form the corresponding thiazole.
