Abstract

Abstract The molecular structure of the title oligopeptide has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The dihydrate crystals contain two independent molecules in the unit cell, and they have a quite similar conformation. The configuration of the two chlorine atoms around the Cβ–Cγ bond of the pyrrolidine ring is nearly gauche. Each molecule contains a β-loop of α-U-folding type.
