title: 1-[6-(Hydroxy-meth-yl)-2-pyrid-yl]-3-(2,4,6-trimethyl-benz-yl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium bromide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(19)H(22)N(3)O(+)·Br(-), the imidazole ring is approximately coplanar with the pyridine ring [dihedral angle = 0.88 (13)°] and nearly perpendicular to the benzene ring [dihedral angle = 81.70 (13)°]. O-H⋯Br and C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonding helps to stabilize the crystal structure.
