Glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C4H10NO2+·Cl− (systematic name: 3-ethoxy-3-oxopropan-1-aminium chloride), there are strong intermolecular N—H...Cl, C—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions between the free chloride anion and the organic cation, resulting in a two-dimensional supramolecular network in the ab plane.
