N-Carbamoyl-DL-aspartic acid

CsHaN205, PL a = 6.438 (2), b = 7.486 (3), c = 8.048 (4)A, a = 72.2(1), fl = 80.8(1), y = 76.4 (1) °, D m = 1.65 (1) (flotation), D c = 1.64 Mg m -3, Z = 2. Final R = 0.095 for 1205 observed reflections. The molecule assumes the sterically least favourable conformation with the side chain carboxyl group staggered between the a-carboxyl group and the N atom attached to C '~. The ureido group takes part in two specific interactions involving two nearly parallel hydrogen bonds in one and two convergent hydrogen bonds in the other.

Synthesis of Optically Active 2-Amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and their Hybrid Peptides

Synthesis of 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives of N-Cbz(benzyloxycarbonyl)/Boc-protected amino/peptide acids under sonication is described. The conditions involved in the present protocol are simple, mild, and racemization free. The utility of 2-amino group in the substituted oxadiazoles for the incorporation of peptide and ureido bonds to obtain hybrid peptidomimetics is also delineated. The 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazole 3b was obtained as a single crystal, and its molecular structure has been confirmed through X-ray crystallographic study.
