2O, (II), respectively, exist in the form of zwitterions. The five-membered pyrrolidine ring in (I) adopts an envelope conformation, with the Cγ atom out of the plane defined by the rest of the ring atoms, and with the hydroxyl and carboxylate groups in a
trans configuration relative to the ring plane. The two crystallographically independent zwitterions in (II) reveal quite different conformations of their side chains and a slightly different orientation of the guanidine moiety with respect to the carboxylate group. The crystal structures of both (I) and (II) are stabilized by extensive networks of O—H
O, N—H
O and C—H
O hydrogen bonds, the network being three-dimensional in (I) and two-dimensional in (II).

The synthesis of guanidino acids (amidino-aminoacids) and their purification and characterization by high-pressure liquid chromatography and ESI-MS, along with the CD and UV spectra peculiarities, are described in detail by Siemion et al., 2004. Crystals of (I) (II), were obtained by recrystallization of the synthesized compounds. Slow evaporation of aqueous solutions at 277 K gave long thin colourless plates of (I), and very fragile colourless parallelepipeds of (II), with a tendency to twinning.
All H atoms were found in a difference Fourier map and were refined isotropically, except for atom H22 in (II), which, due to the rather low value of its displacement parameter, was refined with Uiso = Ueq(C22). Friedel opposites for (I) were merged and the absolute configuration was established on the basis of the known stereochemistry of the molecule.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title compounds, α-guanidino acids, derived from 4-hydroxyproline and methionine, amidino-4-hydroxy-L-proline, a-Hpro, (I), and amidino-L-methionine, a-Met, (II), have been crystallized and structurally analysed by X-ray crystallography as a completion of broader studies on the chiro-optical properties of the guanidine chromophore (Siemion et al., 2004). We present here the complete geometric characterization of (I) and (II) in the solid state, together with a comparison of their molecular structures with related compounds and an analysis of their intermolecular interactions in the crystal network. \sch
Both (I) and (II) crystallize as hydrated zwitterions, with one zwitterion in the asymmetric unit of (I) and two crystallographically independent zwitterions [denoted (1) and (2)] in (II). All the zwitterions in both (I) and (II) exist with the carboxyl groups deprotonated and the amidine moieties protonated. The positive charge is delocalized into the whole amidine group; the π-electron pair is equally distributed between the three C—N bonds, which makes C0—N1, C0—N2 and C0—N3 equal in length (about 1.33 Å; Tables 1 and 3) and the whole guanidine group planar [atoms C0, N1, N2 and N3 lie in one plane to within 0.003 or 0.005 Å in (I) and (II), respectively].
A very interesting structural feature of α-guanidino acids, of relevance to studies on the chiro-optical properties of the guanidine chromophore, is the orientation of the amidine atom C0 relative to the carboxylate atom C1, and the mutual orientation of the planar guanidine and carboxylate moieties. In (I), the amidine group is in a gauche (-sc) orientation with respect to the carboxylate substituent, whereas in the two crystallographically independent zwitterions of (II), the respective C0—N1—C2—C1 torsion angles reveal ap and -ac conformations for (1) and (2), respectively. The dihedral angles between the two planes defined by the guanidine and carboxylate groups are 79.9 (2)° in (I), and 21.1 (1) and 44.3 (1)° in (1) and (2), respectively, of (II).
The Ψ1 (O1—C1—C2—N1) and Ψ2 (O2—C1—C2—N1) torsion angles are −24.9 (3) and 158.0 (2)° for (I), and −20.2 (2) and 159.6 (1)° and −29.4 (2) and 151.4 (1)° for zwitterions (1) and (2) in (II). Thus, atom N1 is displaced from the plane of the carboxylate group by about 0.43 Å in (I), and by 0.49 and −0.64 Å in (1) and (2) of (II), respectively.
The molecular structure of (I) and the conformation of the pyrrolidine ring are shown in Fig. 1. The five-membered pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation, with the Cγ atom (C4) lying out of the ring plane [the dihedral angle between the N1/C2/C3/C5 and C3/C4/C5 planes is 35.2 (2)°], and with the hydroxyl and carboxylate groups in a trans configuration relative to the plane of the pyrrolidine ring. A similar conformation of the ring and orientation of the –OH and –COOH substituents were found previously in 4-hydroxy-L-proline (Donohue & Trueblood, 1952; Koetzle et al., 1973) and its palladium complex (Patel et al., 1986). It is interesting to note that a different puckering of the pyrrolidine ring has sometimes been observed in hydroxyproline derivatives and analogues, such as allo-4-hydroxy-L-proline dihydrate (Shamala et al., 1976) and 2,3-cis-3,4-trans-3,4-dihydroxy-L-proline (Karle, 1970) (envelope with Cβ atom puckered), or N-methylated 4-hydroxyproline derivatives (Jones et al., 1988) (envelope with N atom puckered).
The ring substituents in (I), i.e. amidine, carboxylate and hydoxyl groups, are in equatorial, bisectional and axial positions, respectively. The guanidine group is nearly coplanar with the four plane-defining pyrrolidine ring atoms; the dihedral angle between the respective planes is 10.3 (2)°).
The molecular structures of the two crystallographically independent zwitterions in (II) are shown in Fig. 2. Zwitterions (1) and (2) reveal quite different conformations of their side-chains and, as described above, slightly different orientations of the guanidine moiety with respect to the rest of the molecule, especially to the carboxylate group, and this is readily observed in the superimposition of the two zwitterions shown in Fig. 2. The values of the C1 (N1—C2—C3—C4), C2 (C2—C3—C4—S) and C3 (C3—C4—S—C5) torsion angles (Table 3) indicate the +gauche, trans, -gauche and -gauche, trans, -gauche conformations of the side-chains in (1) and (2), respectively.
Similar gauche, trans, gauche side-chain conformations are quite commonly present in methionine residues and have been observed previously, for example in the methioninium cations in crystalline L-methioninium nitrate (Pandirajan et al., 2002) and DL-methioninium trichloroacetate (Rajagopal et al., 2003), or in the methionine zwitterions in L-methionine L-methioninium perchlorate monohydrate (Sridhar et al., 2002), and even in one of the methionine moieties in the L-methionyl-L-methionine dipeptide (Stenkamp & Jensen, 1975). However, in the crystal of L-methionine, two different conformations of the side-chain were observed, neither of them being as described above (Torii & Iitaka, 1973).
The main difference in the side-chain conformations of (1) and (2) is the orientation of their Cγ atom (C4) relative to the carboxylate atom C1, which is -sc in (1) and ap in (2). Three of the four side-chain atoms in (2), namely C32, C42 and S2, together with atoms C12 and C22 from the main chain, lie in one plane (to within 0.04 Å), from which methyl atom C52 deviates by about 1.67 Å. This is reflected in the C12—C22—C32—C42 and C22—C32—C42—S2 torsion angles, which are both close to 180° (Table 3).
The crystal structure of (I) is stabilized by a network of O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds, in which hydroxyl, amidine and carboxylate groups, as well as the water molecules, are involved (Fig. 3, Table 2). Additionally, there are also close C—H···O contacts. The strongest O—H···O interaction is formed between the hydroxyl and carboxylate groups of adjacent a-Hpro zwitterions. The water molecules act as donors of medium-strength O—H···O hydrogen bonds to the carboxylate O atoms from two different zwitterions. Simultaneously, a water O atom is an acceptor of one N—H···O contact from the amidine group, which also acts as a donor of three additional N—H···O hydrogen bonds to the hydroxyl and carboxylate groups from three different adjacent zwitterions. The carboxylate moiety is involved as acceptor in five different hydrogen-bond interactions, hence three- or four-centred contacts are formed. Thus, the hydrogen-bond network linking adjacent zwitterions and water molecules in the crystal of (I) is three-dimensional (Fig. 3).
The packing of (II) is quite different from that observed in (I) (Figs. 4 and 5; Table 4). As can be seen in Fig. 4, the crystal has a layer architecture. The two crystallographically independent zwitterions have almost identical hydrogen-bonding features. Zwitterions (1) and (2) are linked to each other by two three-centred N—H···O contacts formed by their guanidine and carboxylate groups. This results in (1)-(2) dimers, in which guanidine –NH and one of the –NH2 groups are involved. The other –NH2 group acts as a linker to the adjacent (1)-(2) dimer by acting in an N—H···O hydrogen-bond to the carboxylate O atom from an adjacent dimer, to form infinite ribbons along the a axis. Pairs of adjacent ribbons are linked by water molecules to form layers parallel to the (001) plane, in which the a-Met side-chains of both (1) and (2) are located on one side of the plane defined by the two-dimensional O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen-bond network. The arrangement of the zwitterions and water molecules within the layer is shown in Fig. 5. Both water molecules are involved in additional O—H···O interactions with the adjacent head-to-head layer and act as the linkers between each such pair of adjacent layers. This assembly of a-Met zwitterions and water molecules leads to the double-layer architecture of the crystal of (II). The result of this arrangement of the individual zwitterions in the crystal network is the aggregation of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups into two distinct regions in the crystal, which is very often observed in crystals containing the methionine moiety (Mathieson, 1952; Torii & Iitaka, 1973; Alagar et al., 2002; Pandirajan et al., 2002; Sridhar et al., 2002; Rajagopal et al., 2003).
