Abstract
The structure determination of the title compound, C21H27N2O2+. CF(3)rSO(3) (-), substantiates the possibility of a reaction in which the alkylation pr ocess of Wenkert enamines unexpectedly gives rise to an N-alkylated enammon ium salt. The study of the molecular packing reveals that the small trifluo romethanesulfonate anions are located between the sheets of the cations, th us enjoying relatively high freedom of motion in their cavities.
