Ethyl 1-acetyl-3-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate, a tetragonal structure with Z′ = 4
The title compound, C8H11N3O3, crystallizes with Z' = 4. One pyrazole N atom is substituted and excluded from intermolecular contacts. The amine N, acetyl O and an ester O atom are involved in the formation of nearly planar molecular layers. The layers are perpendicular to the c axis, with an interlayer distance of 3.333 Å. The hydrogen-bonding patterns are similar for each molecule, i.e. intramolecular N-H...O, as well as intermolecular N-H...O and C-H...N(pyrazole), bonds are present.
Molecular and crystal structure of Ac-(Z)-ΔAbu-NMe2 and Ac-DL-Abu-NMe2 as compared to those of related molecules
Abstract The molecular and crystal structures of two homologous amino acid derivatives: N-acetyl-α,β-dehydro-butyrine N´,N´-dimethylamide (1) and N-acetyl-DL-butyrine N´,N´-dimethylamide (2), have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Similar solid-state association of both compounds is observed; despite different molecular conformation, they form centrosymmetric dimers linked by the intermolecular N–H…O hydrogen bonds. The conformation of two crystallographically independent molecules of 1 [with torsion angles ϕ, ψ, χ 1 ≈ (–47°, 130°, 3°), respectively] is also characteristic of other related diamides – ΔAla, ΔPhe and ΔLeu – previously studied in the solid state. To analyse whether thi…
Conformational investigation of alpha,beta-dehydropeptides. XIII. Conformational properties of N-acetyl-alpha,beta-dehydrovaline N',N'-dimethylamide.
The crystal structure of Ac-DeltaVal-NMe(2) (DeltaVal = alpha,beta-dehydrovaline) was determined by X-ray crystallography. The found angles phi = -60 degrees and psi = 125 degrees correspond exactly to the respective values of the (i + 1)th residue in idealised beta-turn II/VIa. Ab initio/DFT studies revealed that the molecule adopts the angle psi restricted only to about |130 degrees | and very readily attains the angle phi = about -50 degrees. This is in line with its solid-state conformation. Taken together, these data suggest that the DeltaVal residue combined with a C-terminal tertiary amide is a good candidate at the (i + 1)th position in a type II/VIa beta-turn.
Peptide synthesis with 5-amino-1-methyl-1H-[1,2,4]triazole-3-carboxylic acid
Abstract In the search for the peptide synthesis of new potential lexitropsins, starting with methyl 5‐amino‐1‐methyl‐1H‐[1,2,4]triazole‐3‐carboxylate 1a, we synthesized the chloroacetyl derivative of 2a, which was hydrolyzed to acid 2b and ammonolyzed to the peptide 2c. A more effective route was the use of (t‐butoxycarbonyl)glycyl‐benzotriazolide 3 to the acylation 1a, which leads the N/C protected peptide 4. This peptide was selectively N‐deprotected to be the useful segment 5 for further peptide syntheses to the N‐terminus. It was also C‐deprotected, that is hydrolyzed to give peptide 2c for further C‐extension. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first peptide that is a derivativ…
