(S)-Benzyl 2-amino-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate

Abstract

The title compound, C16H17NO3, adopts a folded conformation in the crystal structure. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter­molecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions. The absolute configuration was assigned assuming that the absolute configuration of the starting material l-tyrosine was retained during the synthesis.
