N-chloroacetyl-beta-alanine.
The beta-alanine residue of the title compound, C(5)H(8)ClNO(3), has a ggt folded conformation, which is mainly stabilized through intermolecular N-H...O=C (amide-acid) and O-H...O=C (acid-amide) hydrogen bonds. In addition, a cis conformation is found for the Cl-CH(2)-C(=O)-NH torsion angle, which is associated with the presence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond.
