Descriptions:
pubchem: N-(p-hydroxyphenyl)glycine is a phenol that is the N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) derivative of glycine. Synthesised by reaction of p-aminophenol with chloracetic acid, it is used as a photographic developing agent. It has a role as an allergen. It is a glycine derivative, a member of phenols and a non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acid.
chebi: A phenol that is the <em>N</em>-(4-hydroxyphenyl) derivative of glycine. Synthesised by reaction of <em>p</em>-aminophenol with chloracetic acid, it is used as a photographic developing agent.
wikipedia: Glycin, or N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)glycine, is N-substituted p-aminophenol. It is a photographic developing agent used in classic black-and-white photography. It is not identical to, but derived from glycine, the proteinogenic amino acid. It is typically characterized as thin plates of white or silvery powder, although aged samples appear brown, as is typical for aminophenols. It is sparingly soluble in water and most organic solvents; it is readily soluble in alkalies and acids.
Glycin is structurally related to 4-aminophenol and metol. Decarboxylation of glycin gives metol. Glycin has a milder reduction potential than metol. The two developers have markedly different character. Glycin is slower-acting, but much longer-lasting in solution. Glycin is rarely used as a developing agent, primarily because it is expensive. In its dry form, it also has limited shelf life compared to metol and phenidone. 
Glycin can be synthesized by treating p-aminophenol with chloroacetic acid.
Glycin is employed in some procedures of analytical chemistry.
