Structures of Chiral Nitrones. II. (Z)-N-[(2S)-2-(tert-Butoxycarbonylamino)propylidene]benzylamine N-Oxide

The structure of the title compound, C₁₅H₂₂N₂O₃, was determined and the C-CH=N⁺(O^-)C nitrone system shown to be planar. The configuration of the nitrone is confirmed to be Z. The molecular packing involves an intermolecular hydrogen bond of 2.915 (3) Å between the N atom of the carbonylamino group and the O atom of the N-oxide group.
