2-Amino-4-(4-chloro-3-methylphenyl)-5-propyl-1,3-thiazolium iodide

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C13H16ClN2S+·I−, the mol­ecule of 2‐amino‐4‐(4‐chloro‐3‐methyl­phen­yl)‐5‐propyl‐1,3‐thia­zole is protonated on the ring N atom. The angle between the planes formed by the 1,3‐thia­zole and benzene rings is 39.3 (1)°, and this conformation is caused by the presence of the propyl group in position 5 of the heterocyclic ring. The packing in the crystal structure is mainly stabilized by +NH⋯I− and NH⋯I− hydrogen bonds and stacking of 2‐amino‐4‐(4‐chloro‐3‐methyl­phen­yl)‐5‐propyl‐1,3‐thia­zolium cations.
