N-(p-Tolylsulfonyl)-l-asparagine

Abstract

In the title compound, C11H14N2O5S, the amide O atom acts as a hydrogen-bond acceptor from a carboxylate O atom and a secondary amino N atom. In addition, one of the sulfonyl O atoms and the carbonyl O atom of the carboxyl group also form hydrogen bonds with the primary amido N atom. These intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions give rise to a layer structure, with the layers parallel to the ac plane.
