1-Carb-oxy-3-phenyl-propan-2-aminium chloride.
The title compound, C(9)H(12)NO(2) (+)·Cl(-), is the hydro-chloride of an N-substituted glycine derivative. The non-H atoms of the alkyl part of the mol-ecule lie nearly in a plane (r.m.s. deviation of all fitted non-H atoms = 0.0142 Å). In the crystal structure, O-H⋯Cl, N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving both O atoms as well as C-H⋯Cl contacts connect the components of the title compound into a three-dimensional network.
