(S)-Benzyl 2-amino-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate

Abstract

The title compound, C16H17NO3, adopts a folded conformation in the crystal structure. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions. The absolute configuration was assigned assuming that the absolute configuration of the starting material l-tyrosine was retained during the synthesis.
