title: 2-(3-Hy-droxy-benzyl-amino)-acetic acid.
abstract: There are two independent 2-(3-hy-droxy-benzyl-amino)-acetic acid mol-ecules, C(9)H(11)NO(3), in the asymmetric unit of the title compound. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings of the two independent mol-ecules is 58.12 (4)°. The crystal packing is stablized by inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
