(4-Chloromethyl-4-hydroxy-3-phenylthiazolidin-2-ylidene)ammonium chloride acetone solvate

Abstract

At 150 K, the title compound, C10H12ClN2OS+·Cl−·C3H6O, exists as discrete hydrogen‐bonded [2 + 2]‐dimers of cations and chloride anions. Of the two possible thia­zolidin‐2‐yl­idene­ammonium cations that may be formed by the reaction of 1,3‐di­chloro­acetone with N‐phenyl­thio­urea, the reported isomer is unable to eliminate water to form the corresponding thia­zole.
