L-Tyrosine isopropyl ester

Abstract

The title compound, C12H17NO3, adopts a folded conformation with a C-C(NH2)-C(=O)-O torsion angle of -95.9(2)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by an O-H⋯N hydrogen bond, forming helical chains along the b-axis direction. Weak N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed between the chains.
