1-(Pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethan-1-iminium chloride

Abstract

The title compound, C6H13N2+·Cl−, is as an amidinium salt that was isolated as unexpected product from the reaction between acetonitrile, chloroform and pyrrolidine under refluxing conditions. The packing features two N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds to generate centrosymmetric tetramers (two cations and two anions) and van der Waals interactions.
