In the title compound, C8H10NO2+.Cl-, the hydrochloride of a ring-substituted amino acid, the amino N atom is protonated. As in other amino acids, this atom lies nearly in the plane of the carboxyl group, indicating thereby that the orientation of the group is unaffected by the phenyl substitution at the [alpha]-C atom. The crystal structure, consisting of alternating layers of hydrophobic and hydrophillic zones, is stabilized by hydrogen bonds involving mostly the Cl atom.
