K. Ben Ali, A. Chiaroni and L. Bohe

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₉H₂₂N⁺·I^-, is a new dihydroisoquinolinium salt, used as a catalyst in asymmetric epoxidation. It was characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallographic techniques. The absolute configurations of the two stereogenic centres were established by the refinement of the Flack parameter to be 3R and 4S.
