X-ray structural characterization of dicyclohexylammonium chloride and its conversion to bromo-, iodo- and hexafluorophosphate derivatives

Single crystal X-ray structural determination of dicyclohexylammonium chloride, prepared easily in quantitative yield by a modified procedure, reveals it to be strongly and intermolecularly hydrogen bonded. While its bromide derivative is readily obtained in nearly quantitative yield, the iodide and hexafluorophosphate salts are formed slowly in moderate yields.
