Crystal structure of (2-chloroethyl)[2-(methylsulfanyl)benzyl]ammonium chloride

Abstract

In the title molecular salt, C10H15ClNS+·Cl−, the cation is [R′R"NH2]+, whereR′ is 2-MeS-C6H4CH2– andR" is –CH2CH2Cl, and the anion is Cl−. In the cation, the N atom is protonated withsp3-hybridization and with a tetrahedral geometry. In the crystal, the anions are connected to the cations through two pairs of N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, generating a four-centred inversion dimer with anR42(8) ring motif.
