The title compound, C(11)H(22)NO(2) (+)·I(-), is a chiral mol-ecule with five stereogenic centres. The absolute configuration was assigned from the synthesis and confirmed by the structure determination. The central six-membered ring of the indolizine system adopts a chair conformation, with two atoms displaced by -0.690 (2) and 0.550 (2) Å from the plane of the other four atoms. The conformati...
