Carcinogenicity of lactones. II. x-Ray crystal structure analyses of ± 3-benzylamino-4-hydroxypentanoic acid lactone hydrochloride and hydrobromide

Abstract
X-Ray crystal structure analysis of the hydrochloride of [plus or minus]3-benzylamino-4-hydroxypentanoic acid lactone shows the methyl and benzylamino groups to be trans-oriented. The hydrobromide is not isomorphous with the hydrochloride and its crystals are optically active owing to spontaneous resolution during crystallization. Refinement of both crystal structures is in progress.
