N-[2-(4-Methylbenzoyl)ethyl]propan-2-aminium chloride

In the title compound, C13H20NO+·Cl−, the protonated amino N atom is hydrogen bonded to the chloride anion. N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds link the anions and cations into dimers, which are connected by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming supramolecular chains extending along [100]

In the title salt, C(12)H(18)NO(+)·Cl(−), N—H⋯Cl inter­actions between the free chloride anions and the organic cations connect the mol­ecules into hydrogen-bond dimers, forming a R (2) (2)(8) motif. The dimers are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains extending along [301]. The carbonyl group is co-planar with the phenyl ring [C—C—C=O torsion angle = −3.3 (7)°]. The side chain has an E conformation
