Crystal structure of a tripeptide biphenyl hybrid C50H56N6O10·0.5H2O.

ABSTRACT: A peptide biphenyl hybrid compound {systematic name: dimethyl 2,2'-[((2S,2'S)-2,2'-{[(2S,2'S)-1,1'-([1,1'-biphen-yl]-2,2'-dicarbon-yl)bis-(pyrrolidine-1,2-diyl-2-carbon-yl)]bis-(aza-nedi-yl)}bis-(3-phenyl-propano-yl))bis-(aza-nedi-yl)](2S,2'S)-dipropionate hemihydrate}, C50H56N6O10·0.5H2O, was prepared by coupling of [1,1'-biphen-yl]-2,2'-dicarbonyl dichloride, tri-ethyl-amine and the tripeptide Pro-Phe-Ala in CH2Cl2 at 273?K under an N2 atmosphere. In the crystal, the asymmetric unit contains the peptide biphenyl hybrid accompanied by one-half of a water mol-ecule. A C atom of one of the proline rings is disordered between two positions in a 0.746?(11):0.254?(11) ratio. An important structural aspect of peptide compounds is their capacity to self-associate mediated by inter-molecular and intra-molecular hydrogen bonding. This characteristic can be useful in understanding the inter-actions between peptides and biomacromolecular targets, as well as to explain peptide properties.
