N,N-Dimethyl-N-propylpropan-1-aminium chloride monohydrate

M. Kärnä, M. Lahtinen and J. Valkonen

Abstract: The title compound, C₈H₂₀N⁺·Cl^-·H₂O, has been prepared by a simple one-pot synthesis route followed by anion exchange using resin. In the crystal structure, the cations are packed in such a way that channels exist parallel to the b axis. These channels are filled by the anions and water molecules, which interact via O-HCl hydrogen bonds [OCl = 3.285 (3) and 3.239 (3) Å] to form helical chains. The cations are involved in weak intermolecular C-HCl and C-HO hydrogen bonds. The title compound is not isomorphous with the bromo or iodo analogues.
