title: 2-Amino-4,6-dimethyl-pyridinium benzoate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(7)H(11)N(2) (+)·C(7)H(5)O(2) (-), the 2-amino-4,6-dimethyl-pyridinium cation and the benzoate anion are linked by two N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an R(2) (2)(8) ring motif. The H atoms in both the methyl groups are rotationally disordered, with fixed site occupancies of 0.50. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A π-π inter-action, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.661 (2) Å, is also observed.
