Abstract
The title compound, benzyl -pyrazolidinylcarbonyl)pyrazolidine-2-carbo xylate, C23H26N4O5, derived from the alpha-aza analogue of proline, cr ystallizes with two independent molecules per asymmetric unit, adoptin g two quasi mirror-image conformations. Because of steric hindrance an d unfavourable polar interactions between the carbonyl groups connecte d to the same pyrazolidine ring, the N atoms lose part of their sp(2) character so that they are far from being planar and the N-CO bonds ar e noticeably longer than in peptides.
