Abstract: The title compound, C₅H₈ClNO₃, was prepared by the nucleophilic substitution reaction of (2S)-2-chloropropanoyl chloride with glycine. The acetate group forms a dihedral angle of 84.6 (1)° with the mean plane of the C-NH-C=O fragment. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network, which consolidates the crystal packing.
