Crystal structure of 2-benzene-sulfon-amido-3-hy-droxy-propanoic acid.

In the title compound, C9H11NO5S, the O=S=O plane of the sulfonyl group is twisted at a dihedral angle of 52.54 (16)° with respect to the benzene ring. The dihedral angle between the carb­oxy­lic acid group and the benzene ring is 49.91 (16)°. In the crystal, C—H⋯O, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into (001) sheets.
