The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C12H24N+·C9H8N3O2−, consists of two dicyclohexylammonium cations linked to two (S)-2-azido-3-phenylpropanoate anions by four short N—H...O hydrogen bonds with N...O distances in the range 2.712 (3)–2.765 (3) Å. The dicyclohexylammonium cations and the aryl and carboxylate groups of the anion are related by a pseudo-inversion centre, with overall crystallographic inversion symmetry for the structure broken by the chirality of the α-C atoms of the anions.
