In the title compound, C18H40NO2+·Br−, the ion pairs formed by the hydrogen-bonded bromide anions and organic cations are arranged into thick layers with the directed to the inside and the trimethylaminium groups and the bromide anions situated on the layer surface. The long alkyl chain in the cation adopts an all-trans conformation. In the molecules are connected by intermolecular O—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, forming ionic pairs that are further connected into an extended chain structure via C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions. The crystal is chiral but nearly 90% of atoms in the are related by a pseudo-inversion center. The crystal shows racemic with a 0.33:0.67 domain ratio.

The reaction was carried out under nitrogen atmosphere. Trimethylammonium bromide (0.12 mol) and dodecyl glycidyl ether (0.1 mol) were added to a stirred solution of ethanol (100 ml) and stirred at 320 K for 24 h. The resulting clear solution was evaporated under vacuum. Colourless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a ethyl acetate solution over a period of two weeks. (yield 81%, m.p. 342Kk) Anal. Calcd (%) for C18H40Br1N1O2 (Mr = 382.42): C, 56.48; H, 10.46; N, 3.66. Found (%): C, 56.43; H, 10.50; N, 3.63.
All H atoms were placed geometrically and treated as riding on their parent atoms with O—H = 0.82 Å, C—H = 0.97 (methylene) Å [Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)], and C—H = 0.96 (methyl) Å [Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C)]. The crystal was refined as a racemic twin with the 0.33 (3)/0.67 (3) ratio of the twin domains.

3-Alkoxy-2-hydroxypropyl-N,N,N-trimethylpropan-1-aminium bromides (RTABs) are a new type of cationic surfactants (Yin et al., 2001).They are used as bacteriocides, emulgents, antistatic agents and pigment-dispersing agents in a variety of industries, such as in the production of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and textiles (Zhao et al., 1997). As a contribution to the chemistry of surfactants, we report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound. The asymmetric unit of the title compound (Fig. 1), consists of a 3-dodecyloxy-2-hydroxypropyl-N,N,N- trimethylpropan-1-aminium cations, and a bromide anion. The dodecyl chains of the cations are arranged parallel in one layer and antiparallel in alternate layers, and the C—C—C angles tend to be larger towards the end of the chain. The bond lengths of C3—O2 and C7—O2 are 1.459 (11) and 1.369 (9) Å, respectively. All N—C bond lengths and C—N—C angles are within the usual ranges (Koh et al., 1993). In the crystal, the cations are stacked parallel along the a axis (Fig. 2). In the crystal structure, molecules are connected by intermolecular O—H···Br hydrogen bonds forming ionic pairs that are further connected into an extended chain structure via C—H···O hydrogen interactions (Table 1).
