title: l-Alanine hydrochloride monohydrate.
abstract: Colorless crystals of l-alanine hydrochloride monohydrate, C(3)H(8)NO(2) (+)·Cl(-)·H(2)O, were obtained from a powder sample that had been left standing in a refrigerator for a few years. The structure displays several inter-molecular hydrogen bonds: the hydroxyl O atom is involved in a single hydrogen bond to the chloride anion, while the ammonium group forms one hydrogen bond to the chloride anion and two hydrogen bonds to water mol-ecules. An intermolecular bond between the carbonyl O atom and the ammonium group [2.8459 (15) Å] is also found.
