1-Benzyl-3,5-bis(4-methylbenzylidene)-4-oxopiperidin-1-ium Chloride Acetic Acid Monosolvate

In the title solvated molecular salt, C(28)H(28)NO+center dot Cl-center dot C(2)H(4)O(2), the central piperidinium ring of the cation adopts an envelope conformation with the N atom displaced by 0.798 (2) A from the mean plane of the five C atoms. In the crystal, the components are linked by N-H...Cl and O-H...Cl hydrogen bonds into trimeric assemblies. C-H...Cl and C-H...pi interactions further consolidate the packing.
