title: 2-Acetyl-anilinium chloride.
abstract: The cation of the title salt, C(8)H(10)NO(+)·Cl(-), is essentially planar [C-C-C-C torsion angle = 4.6 (2)°], the conformation being stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, centrosymmetric aggregates are formed via N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. These dimeric aggregates are sustained in the crystal packing by a combination of C-H⋯Cl, C-H⋯O and C-O⋯π [O⋯ring centroid(benzene ring) = 3.1871 (13) and 3.3787 (13) Å] inter-actions.
