3-(N-Benzyl-N-methylcarbamoyl)-1,2,4-trimethylquinolinium Iodide

The title compound, C₂₁H₂₃N₂O⁺.I^-, possesses a central planar carbamoyl fragment in which the carbonyl and N-methyl groups are in anti positions. Located perpendicular to this central fragment on opposite sides are the N-benzyl group and the quinolinium fragment. This conformation leads to an axial chirality. The compound crystallizes as a racemate in a centrosymmetric space group.
