Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-5"> In the structure of&nbsp; <i> N </i> -acetyl- <span style="font-size: 9.6px;"> L </span> -glutamic acid, C <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 7 </span> H <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 11 </span> NO <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 5 </span> , each molecule is directly hydrogen bonded to four others by a total of six hydrogen bonds. Two carboxylic O atoms and the N atom are donors while all three acceptors are O atoms. There is also an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the N atom as donor and a carboxylic O atom as acceptor. The carboxyl O and H atoms are ordered. The conformation of the carbon chain with respect to the C3-C4 bond is&nbsp; <i> trans </i> &nbsp;as in&nbsp; <span style="font-size: 9.6px;"> L </span> -glutamic acid hydrochloride, rather than&nbsp; <i> gauche </i> &nbsp;as in the&nbsp; <img src="http://scripts.iucr.org/logos/entities/beta_rmgif.gif"/> &nbsp;form of&nbsp; <span style="font-size: 9.6px;"> L </span> -glutamic acid.</div><div class="line" id="line-27"> <br/></div>
