(Z)-N-[2-(Dimethylammonio)ethyl]thioacetamide chloride

Abstract

The thioamide and quaternary amine parts of the title compound, C6H15N2S+·Cl−, are mutually almost perpendicular, the dihedral angle being 80.6 (7)°. The thioamide group is planar and adopts a Z conformation, whereas the amine end of the cation is in an extended conformation. In the supramolecular structure, molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by two hydrogen bonds: N—Hamine...Cl and N—Hthioamide...Cl.
