To a clear solution of glycine (0.75 g, 10 mmol) and NaOH (0.40 g, 10 mmol) in a solvent mixture of water (10 mL) and methanol (20 mL), was added 3-hydroxy benzaldehyde (1.22 g, 10 mmol) and the resulting yellow solution was stirred for 3 h. After cooling to 273 K, a slight excess of NaBH4 (0.46 g, 12 mmol) was added. The yellow color slowly discharged after 20–30 min and the pH value was maintained 5–6 by addition of acetic acid. Colorless blocks of the title compound were obtained by slow evaporation of the reaction mixture.
We have merged Friedel-pair reflections before final
as there is a light atom structure (heaviest element lighter than silicon, with Mo radiation). All H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93 and 0.97 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å and O—H = 0.82 Å, and were thereafter treated as riding, with Uiso(H) values of 1.5Ueq(O) for hydoxyl group and 1.2Ueq(C,N) for others.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2007); cell

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In recent years, substituted amino acid complexes have received extensive attention because of primarily their biological and pharmaceutical activities (Lei Jia et al., 2010). As part of our studies of substituted amino acids, the title compound was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction.
The asymmetric of the title compound, 2C9H11NO3, contains two independent 2-(3-hydroxybenzylamino)acetic acid molecules (Fig. 1). Each benzene ring is essentially planar [mean deviations of 0.0066 Å for ring C4—C9 and 0.0030 Å for ring C13—C18]. The torsion angles C12—N2 –C11—C10 and C2—N1—C3—C4 are -163.2 (2)° and -55.5 (3)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings in two independent amino acid molecules is 58.12 (4)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds are helpful to stabilize the packing (Table 1, Fig. 2).
