Abstract

The title compound, C₆H₁₃N₂ ⁺·Cl^-, is as an amidinium salt that was isolated as unexpected product from the reaction between aceto-nitrile, chloro-form and pyrrolidine under refluxing conditions. The packing features two N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds to generate centrosymmetric tetra-mers (two cations and two anions) and van der Waals inter-actions.

Keywords: Pinner reaction; acetonitrile; amidinium salt; chloroform; crystal structure; pyrrolidine.
