The crystal structure of the title compound, C₈H₂₀NO⁺·-Cl^-, (I), and the structures of its derivatives, (2-chloroethyl)diisopropylammonium chloride, C₈H₁₉ClN⁺·Cl^-, (II), and diisopropyl(2-mercaptoethyl)ammonium chloride, C₈H₂₀NS⁺·Cl^-, (III), are described. The conformations of the isopropyl groups in (II) (gauche-gauche) are different from those in (I) and (III) (both gauche-trans). The structures are stabilized by hydrogen bonds of the type Y-H...Cl (Y = N, O, S) and C-H...X (X = Cl, S).
