Abstract: The conformations of the N-H and C=O bonds in the amide segment of the structure of the title compound {systematic name: 3-[(2-chlorophenyl)aminocarbonyl]propionic acid}, C₁₀H₁₀ClNO₃, are trans to each other, while the conformation of the amide H atom is syn to the ortho-chloro group in the benzene ring. Further, the conformations of the amide O atom and the carbonyl O atom of the ester segment are also trans to the H atoms attached to the adjacent C atoms. In the crystal structure, molecules are packed into infinite chains through intermolecular N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds.
