Abstract: The title compound, propafenone hydrochloride, C₂₁H₂₈NO₃⁺·Cl^-, is a potent antiarrhythmic drug, which acts by blocking channels for sodium transport across cell borders. The crystal packing is essentially controlled by a system of hydrogen bonds involving the quaternary N atom, the (disordered) hydroxy group and the chloride ion.
