Crystal structure of (S)-2-amino-2-methylsuccinic acid

The title compound, C5H9NO4, crystallized as a zwitterion. There is an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond involving the trans-succinic acid and the ammonium group, forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming C(7) chains along the c-axis direc...
