Abstract:
The title compound, C(18)H(17)NO(6) [systematic name: (2R,3R)-4-benzyl-amino-2-benzo-yloxy-3-hy-droxy-4-oxobutanoic acid], is the first structurally characterized unsymmetrical monoamide-monoacyl tartaric acid derivative. The mol-ecule shows a staggered conformation around the tartramide Csp(3)-Csp(3) bond with trans-oriented carboxyl and amide groups. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl and amide carbonyl groups, forming translational chains along [001]. Further O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds as well as weaker C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-molecular inter-actions extend the supra-molecular assembly into a double-layer structure parallel to (100). There are no directional inter-actions between the double layers.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
