1-Ethoxy-3-[4-(ethoxycarbonyl)phenyl]-3-hydroxy-1-oxopropan-2-aminium chloride

Abstract

The title compound, C14H20NO5+·Cl−, was prepared as a racemate of R,R- and S,S-enantiomers by reduction of the corresponding hydroxyiminoketone. In the crystal, layers are formed via hydrogen bridges of four ammonium groups to chloride ions; these lamellae are connected via interdigitated benzoic ester groups.
