DL-Aminophenylacetic acid

The racemate DL-aminophenylacetic acid (DL-2-amino-2-phenylethanoic acid) crystallizes in space group P2₁/c. The crystal is divided into distinct hydrophilic and hydrophobic layers. The structure is part of an ongoing program to provide accurate H-atom positions in crystal structures of hydrophobic amino acids [Dalhus & Görbitz (1999a). Acta Cryst. C55. In the press].
