In the cation of the title mol­ecular salt, C6H16NO+·Cl, the N—C—C—O torsion angle is 176.5 (2)°. In the crystal, the cations and chloride ions are linked by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a two-dimensional network parallel to (100).

Amino alcohols are some of the most versatile starting materials both at the laboratory and at the industrial scale and have been widely used for a large number of applications. Among which stands the chiral pool synthesis of naturally occurring molecules (Coppola et al. 1987; Bergmeier et al. 1999). These compounds have also displayed important biological activities and are of interest for the development of synthetic methods in the pharmaceutical industry (Gante, 1994; Tok et al. 1998). Based on the above, we report here the crystal structure of N-((2-hydroxyethyl)tertbutyl)ammonium chloride and discuss its geometry and intermolecular interactions.

The molecular structure of the title compound [(HOC2H4)((CH3)3C)NH2]Cl- (Fig. 1), consists of an ionic species, exhibiting the nitrogen atom in a tetrahedral geometry. The dihedral angle between the tertbutyl and the 2-hydroxyethyl moieties is almost plane (173.34 (2)°) as a result of the reduced steric effects. In the asymmetric unit the Cl atom is linked by a N3—H3A···Cl1 interaction (2.266 (11) Å). In the crystal the Cl atom is acting as tri-acceptor H-bonding, such that, the anion and cation species are linked through O1—H1···Cl1 with distances of 2.294 (13) Å, leading to stairs aligned along the ac plane (symmetry code x, -y + 3/2, z + 1/2). These stairs are expanded by a third intermolecular interaction N3—H3B···Cl1 (2.304 (10) Å) along the b axis with symmetry code -x + 1,y - 1/2,-z + 3/2 (see Table 1, Fig. 2).

Experimental top

The title compound was isolated from the reaction of [S2CN(tBu)(EtOH)] and [NiCl2(PPh3)2] in a 1:1 molar ratio in ethanol. Colourless crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained from a solvent system ether/CH2Cl2.

Refinement top

The atoms H1, H3A and H3B were located from a difference Fourier map and N3—H3A, N3—H3B and O1—H1 distances are restrained to 0.90 and 0.85 Å respectively. H atoms were included in calculated position (C—H = 0.97 Å for methylene H, and C—H = 0.96 Å for methyl H), and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq of the carrier atoms. 3 badly fitting reflections were omitted from the final refinement.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
