glycine with an NH3Cl where the NH2 is...
NaOH

Glycine Hydrochloride + Sodium Hydroxide → Sodium Glycocollate Hydrochloride

NH2CH2COOH•HCl + NaOH → NH2CH2CO2Na•H2O•HCl

Unsure if that's right. :s-smilie: Bear in mind, I haven't done Chemistry in more than a year. :redface:
if you want to react glycine hydrochloride with NaOH all that will happen is that glycine will be generated in the amine form and you will get the sodium salt of the carboxylic acid end formed as ions.

HO2CCH2NH3Cl + 2NaOH --> Na+[O2CCH2NH2]- + NaCl + 2H2O

Why do you have sodium chloride as your product? I think you meant hydrochloric acid. :p:
no I don't - I mean sodium chloride, that's why I wrote it!

But where does your extra sodium come from? :confused: You're already reacting it with your aminoalkanoic acid.
When an acid reacts wth a base they do so in the required stoichiometric amounts.

For example in the reaction between sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide, 2 moles of NaOH are required for complete neutralisation.
H2SO4 + 2NaOH --> Na2SO4`+ 2H2O

It would be possible to prepare sodium hydrogen sulphate by adding only 1 mole of NaOH to 1 mole of H2SO4
H2SO4 + NaOH --> NaHSO4`+ H2O

But the OP did not say that the NaOH was restricted in quantity in any way.

NaOH will react with both ends of the amino acid salt. Therefore 2 moles of NaOH are required, as in the equation I posted.

The first mole of NaOH removes the HCl of the amine salt making NaCl and H2O, and then the second NaOH reacts with the acidic -COOH group making the sodium salt of the carboxylic acid group + H2O
