Crystal structure of benz­yl(meth­yl)phen­yl[(piperidin-1-ium-1-yl)meth­yl]silane bromide

摘要

The title compound, C20H29NSi+·Br−, contains a chiral silicon atom but crystallizes as a racemate. The C—Si—C bond angles in the range of 103.64 (8)–111.59 (9)° are usual for tetra­hedral geometry. The piperidine ring shows a regular chair conformation with an equatorially positioned exocyclic N—C bond. In the crystal, there is a hydrogen bond between the ammonium cation and the bromide anion. The crystal packing shows the dominant inter­molecular inter­action to be the electrostatic attraction between the ammonium cation and the bromide anion.
