The title compound crystallizes as a hydrated zwitterion with the site
for the water molecule only partially occupied [site-occupancy factor
0.28 (1)] and a formula of C10H12N2O3. 0.28H(2)O. The hydroxyl H atom
forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond to the imine N atom. The NH3+ a
nd COO- groups of the zwitterion form a two-dimensional hydrogen-bond
network that runs parallel to the ac plane. The water molecule forms h
ydrogen bonds to a hydroxyl O atom and a carboxylate O atom of adjacen
t molecules.
