Abstract

NH stretching bands of N-acetyl-(glycine, L-alanine, L-leucine)-N′-methylamides in dilute chloroform solution have shown that these dipeptides are present as a mixture of intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded five-membered ring species and nonhydrogen bonded species. Integrated absorption intensity measurements revealed that the concentration of the intramolecularly hydrogen bonded species decreased from 62% in glycine to 35% in the L-leucine derivatives.
