(S)-(−)-1-Phenylethanaminium hexanoate
Abstract
A binary mixture of (S)-(−)-1-phenylethanamine and hexanoic acid was allowed to react to form the title salt, C8H12N+·C6H11O2−. This crystal contains a 1:1 stoichiometric mixture of the acid- and amine-derived species and displays a chiral structure with N—H...O hydrogen-bonded chains propagating along the c-axis direction.
