Abstract

The title compound, C38H50N2O7, represents a chiral β-proline dipeptide. Corresponding stereogenic centres of constituting pyrrolidine units have opposite absolute configurations. The central amide fragment is planar within 0.1 Å and adopts a Z configuration along the N-CO bond. In the crystal, the hydrogen atoms of the methyl-ene groups form several short inter-molecular C-H⋯O contacts with the carbonyl oxygen atoms of an adjacent mol-ecule. The only active amino hydrogen atom is not involved in hydrogen bonding.

Keywords: crystal structure; peptide bond configuration; β-peptides; β-proline oligomers.
