Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₀H₁₉N₃²⁺·2Br^-, the plane of the three butyl C atoms nearest to the pyridine ring is almost perpendicular to the ring [dihedral angle = 84.80 (2)°]. The N atom of the ammonium group is displaced by 1.150 (8) Å from the plane of these three C atoms. The iminium N atom lies on the opposite side of this plane. The crystal structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the N and Br atoms, as well as by intermolecular C-HBr interactions.
