White or slightly reddish crystals.

Soluble in hot water .

Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Flash point data for 2-amino-N-phenylacetamide are not available, but 2-amino-N-phenylacetamide is probably combustible.

N-Glycylanilide crystallises from water as needles (dihydrate) and is soluble in Et2O. [Greenstein & Winitz The Chemistry of the Amino Acids J. Wiley, Vol 3 pp1915-1970 1961, Beilstein 4 H 343.]
