The title compound was prepared as a racemate of R,R- and S,S-enanti­omers by reduction of the corresponding hy­droxy­imino­ketone. In the crystal, layers are formed via hydrogen bridges of four ammonium groups to chloride ions; these lamellae are connected via inter­digitated benzoic ester groups.

The thio­nocarbonate of trans-cyclo­octenediol, C₉H₁₂O₂S, crystallizes with a 9/1 disorder in the position of the R,R and S,S-enanti­omers. As a result of trans-annulation, both rings adopt a twist conformation.

In the crystal of the title compound, the mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating a C(4) chain extending along the c-axis direction.
