1-[6-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-pyridyl]-3-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium bromide

Abstract

In the title compound, C19H22N3O+·Br−, the imidazole ring is approximately coplanar with the pyridine ring [dihedral angle = 0.88 (13)°] and nearly perpendicular to the benzene ring [dihedral angle = 81.70 (13)°]. O—H...Br and C—H...Br hydrogen bonding helps to stabilize the crystal structure.
