Abstract
In the context of the development of synthetic routes that facilitate the incorporation of β-amino acids into peptide synthesis, the synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis are reported of fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) protected β-amino butyric acid. The importance of pH control in the reaction employing Fmoc-N3 is demonstrated with another β-amino acid analogue from which Fmoc carbamate was identified as the major product.
In the context of the development of synthetic routes that facilitate the incorporation of β-amino acids into peptide synthesis, the synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis are reported of fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) protected β-amino butyric acid, namely, 3-{[(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl]amino}butanoic acid, C19H19NO4. The importance of pH control in the reaction employing Fmoc-N3 is demonstrated with another β-amino acid analogue from which Fmoc carbamate was identified as the major product.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications is the IUCr''s open-access structural communications journal. It provides a fast, simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for crystal structure determinations of inorganic, metal-organic and organic compounds. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure rapid and high-quality publication of fully validated structures. The primary article category is Research Communications; these are peer-reviewed articles describing one or more structure determinations with appropriate discussion of the science.
