The compound CH3-CO-NH-C(C2H5)2-COOH was synthesized from the corresponding free amino acid. N-Acetyl-Cα,α-diethylglycine crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 13.551(2)Å, b = 11.110(3)Å, c = 13.569(3)Å, β = 111.54(2)°, Z = 8 , D = 1.21 g/cm3. This structure was solved by direct methods and refined to R = 0.084. N-Acetyl-Cα,α-diethylglycine shows a fully extended conformation in its -N H-C(C2H5)2-CO- part.

The title peptide,N-benzyloxycarbonyl-β-glycylglycylglycine benzyl ester, C22H25N3O6, contains a non-proteinogenic amino acid residue, β-glycine, which is a homologated analogue of glycine. In the molecular structure, β-glycine adopts an extended conformation with atransconformation about its Cβ—Cαbond. The second glycine residue adopts an extended conformation while the third glycine residue adopts a helical conformation. In the crystal, three N—H...O hydrogen bonds, two involving the same carbonyl O atom as acceptor, results in an infinite two-dimensional network parallel to thebcplane.

The complexes of glutaric acid with L-arginine and L-histidine (two crystal forms) exhibit different stoichiometries and ionization states. The aggregation patterns in two of the crystals are remarkably similar to those observed earlier in similar structures, while the pattern in the remaining one has not been seen earlier. The variability in the ionization state and stoichiometry observed in amino acid–dicarboxylic acid complexes appears to represent subtle differences in the response of a molecule to the presence in its neighbourhood of another type of molecule. The glutaric acid molecules (or glutarate or semiglutarate ions) in their complexes and in other crystals favour a fully extended conformation, albeit with frequent departures from it. The change in the chirality of the component molecules in the complex could lead to drastic changes in the aggregation pattern; alternatively, the effects of the change are accommodated through small adjustments in essentially the same pattern.

Four structures of oxoindolyl α-hydroxy-β-amino acid derivatives, namely, methyl 2-{3-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-1-methyl-2-oxoindolin-3-yl}-2-methoxy-2-phenylacetate, C24H28N2O6, (I), methyl 2-{3-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-1-methyl-2-oxoindolin-3-yl}-2-ethoxy-2-phenylacetate, C25H30N2O6, (II), methyl 2-{3-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-1-methyl-2-oxoindolin-3-yl}-2-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]-2-phenylacetate, C31H34N2O7, (III), and methyl 2-[(anthracen-9-yl)methoxy]-2-{3-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-1-methyl-2-oxoindolin-3-yl}-2-phenylacetate, C38H36N2O6, (IV), have been determined. The diastereoselectivity of the chemical reaction involving α-diazoesters and isatin imines in the presence of benzyl alcohol is confirmed through the relative configuration of the two stereogenic centres. In esters (I) and (III), the amide group adopts ananticonformation, whereas the conformation issynin esters (II) and (IV). Nevertheless, the amide group forms intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds with the ester and ether O atoms in all four structures. The ether-linked substituents are in the extended conformation in all four structures. Ester (II) is dominated by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen-bond interactions. In contrast, the remaining three structures are sustained by C—H...O hydrogen-bond interactions.
