(S)-1-Hydroxypropan-2-aminium (2R,3R)-3-carboxy-2,3-dihydroxypropanoate monohydrate

Abstract

The chiral title compound, C4H10NO+·C4H5O6 −·H2O, is a hydrated mol­ecular salt in which the tartaric acid has transferred one proton to the (S)-2-amino­propan-1-ol mol­ecule. The crystal structure is stabilized by a three-dimensional network of N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The absolute configuration was assigned on the basis of the starting materials.
