Abstract:
The title compound {systematic name: 1-[(1R,4aS,10aR)-7-isopropyl-1,4a-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,9,10,10a-octa-hydro-phenan-thren-1-yl]-N,N-di-methyl-methanaminium chloride ethanol monosolvate}, C22H36N(+)·Cl(-)·C2H6O, was synthesized from dehydroabietylamine by N-methyl-ation with formaldehyde/formic acid and transformation into the hydro-chloride. The de-hydro-abietyl moiety exhibits the usual conformation with the two cyclo-hexane rings in chair and half-chair conformations and a trans-ring junction. The crystal structure is built up from columns of the de-hydro-abietyl moieties stacked along the a axis. These columns are held together by the chloride ions via N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯Cl inter-actions, which establish a two-dimensional network parallel to (010). The ethanol solvent mol-ecules are located between the columns and anchored via O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.

Acidity of 1-Alkynes
The acidic strength of hydrocarbons follows the order: Alkynes > Alkenes > Alkanes. The strength of an acid is commonly expressed in units of pKa — the lower the pKa, the stronger the acid. Among the hydrocarbons, terminal alkynes have lower pKa values and are, therefore, more acidic. For example, the pKa values for ethane, ethene, and acetylene are 51, 44, and 25, respectively, as shown here.
