Abstract
Disarcosine hydrobromide, C6H15N2O4 +Br−, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space groupPca21 with eight formula entities per unit cell of dimensionsa = 23.79,b = 6.18, andc = 15.40 Å, that is, two disarcosine molecules in the asymmetric unit. The structure was solved by the heavy-atom method using three-dimensional visually estimated X-ray data, and refined by the block-diagonal least-squares method to a finalR value of 0.11. The molecules are held together by a network of hydrogen bonds of the types N-H ⋯ Br, N-H ⋯ O, and O-H ⋯ O.
