Redetermination of [alpha]-ammonio-[alpha]-methylpropionoate

D. E. Lynch and I. McClenaghan

Abstract: The redetermined structure of the title compound, C4H9NO2, comprises a simple amino acid derivative arranged in an extensive hydrogen-bonded network, with the three hydrogen-bond donor elements (N-H) associating with the two hydrogen-bond acceptor elements (carboxylate O atoms). The addition of one C-H...O close contact results in both carboxylate O atoms being involved in three-centre hydrogen-bonding associations.
