B. Albert et al., SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF N-[(1S,4R)-2-OXO-PINANYL]-BETA-ALANINE METHYLESTER, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 53(10), 1998, pp. 1188-1190
The title compound, N-[(1S,4R)-2-oxo-pinanyl]-beta-alanine methylester
, is an important starting material for the electrochemical preparatio
n of chiral amidoalkylation reagents in the synthesis of chiral beta-s
ubstituted beta-amino acid derivatives. The investigation of its cryst
al structure reveals an arrangement of the carbonyl group and the amin
e function, which is influenced by a hydrogen bonding interaction. Thi
s conformation makes the molecule especially appropriate for further s
ynthetical modification.
