Abstract:
The title compound, dimethyl 2,2'-(oxalyldiimino)diethanoate, C(8)H(12)N(2)O(6), exhibits a network of hydrogen bonds between amide and ester groups. Molecules lie on inversion centres and show a planar conformation for both the oxalamide and ester groups. The glycine residues adopt a conformation close to the polyglycine II structure.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
