Crystal structure of N-(tert-but-oxy-carbon-yl)glycyl-(Z)-β-bromo-dehydro-alanine methyl ester [Boc-Gly-(β-Br)((Z))ΔAla-OMe].

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C11H17BrN2O5, is a de-hydro-amino acid with a C=C bond between the α- and β-C atoms. The amino acid residues are linked trans to each other and there are no strong intra-molecular hydrogen bonds. The torsion angles indicate a non-helical conformation of the mol-ecule. The dipeptide folding is influenced by an inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond and also minimizes steric repulsion. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by strong N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating (001) sheets. The sheets are linked by weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Br bonds and short Br⋯Br [3.4149 (3) Å] inter-actions.
