Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₄H₃₂NO₂⁺·Br^-, organic cationsstacked parallel to the a axis andbromide anions placed between the head groups of the cations form ionic pairs via weak intermolecular O-HBr hydrogen bonds. The octyl chain in the cation adopts an all-trans conformation. The O-CH₂-CH(-OH)-CH₂ portion of the molecule is disordered over two sets of sites with occupancy factors of 0.57 (3) and 0.47 (3).
