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-H
Br interactions.
The title compound was synthesized by treating 2-aminopyridine (0.94 g,10 mmol) with (S)-1-bromo-3-methylbutan-2-amine hydrobromide (2.47 g,10 mmol) in MeCN (30 ml) under stirring at 353 K for 24 h (yield 81%). The compound (S)-1-bromo-3-methylbutan-2-amine hydrobromide was obtained from commercially available L-valine by reduction with NaBH4 and subsequent bromination with PBr3 (Xu et al., 2006). Suitable crystals of the title compound were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution at room temperature.
All carbon-bonded H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic), C—H = 0.98 Å (sp), C—H = 0.93 Å (sp2), C—H = 0.96 Å(sp3) and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H)=1.2eq(C). N-bound H atoms were located in a difference map and refined with an N—H distance restraint of 0.86 (3) Å.

Ionic liquids, specially functional ionic liquids, have received growing attention recently due to their tuneable features for various chemical tasks. (S. Luo, et al., 2006). The title compound, readily synthesized from commercially available L-valine and 2-aminopyridine, might have potential utilities in some specific chemical tasks, when it is converted into a kind of functional ionic liquid by neutralization with sodium hydroxide. The structure of (S)-1-(2-ammonio-3-methylbutyl)pyridin-2(1H)-iminium dibromide is shown in Fig. 1.
The crystal is built of doubly protonated cations and bromide anions. The protonation of the amines is appropriate like in the scheme, for the C1—N2 bond distance reveals its double bond property. The dihedral angle between the plane of three alkyl carbons C6/C7/C8 and the pyridine ring is 84.80 (2) °, which means the two planes are approximately perpendicular to one another. The atom N3 of the ammonium group bonded to the alkyl chain is displaced from the plane of three carbons C6/C7/C8 by 1.150 (8) Å. The iminium N2 lies on the opposite side of this plane. The crystal structure is stablized by hydrogen-bonds between the atoms N and Br as well as by intermolecular C—H—Br interactions. The molecular packing of the title compound showing H-bridge interactions between cationic-anionic groups is shown in Fig. 2.
