title: 2-[(2-Hydr-oxy-2,2-diphenyl-ethyl)(meth-yl)amino]-N,N-dimethyl-ethanaminium bromide.
abstract: The title compound, C(19)H(27)N(2)O(+)·Br(-), is the hydro-bromide of the trapping product of lithia-ted N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) with benzophenone. Thereby, the N atom of the NMe(2) group is selectively protonated and the respective trapping product represents a potential tridentate ligand with one O and two N donor atoms. The H atoms at N (H2N) and O (H1O) are involved in hydrogen bonds with the Br(-). The mol-ecular structure shows all donor atoms to be arranged on one side of the mol-ecule, thus indicating a potential threefold coordination of a Lewis acid.
