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

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—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds [O⋯Cl = 3.285 (3) and 3.239 (3) Å] to form helical chains. The cations are involved in weak inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The title compound is not isomorphous with the bromo or iodo analogues.
