The title compound [systematic name: (methoxycarbonylmethyl)ammonium chloride], crystallizes as a salt, C3H8NO2 +·Cl−, with the charged species interacting mutually via strong and highly directional N+—H⋯Cl− hydrogen bonds which lead to the formation of a supramolecular tape running parallel to the c axis. Tapes close pack in the solid state mediated by multipoint recognition synthons based on weak C—H⋯O interactions and van der Waals contacts between adjacent methyl groups.
