Benzyl-5-[N-(tert-butoxy­carbonyl)­amino]-4-oxo-6-phenylhexanoate

The title compound, C₂₄H₂₉NO₅, the benzyl ester of the Phe–Gly dipeptidomimetic containing a keto­methyl­ene motif, was synthesized from the readily available α,β-unsaturated γ-ketoester. The methyl­ene group in the benzyl part of the mol­ecule is disordered. There is an intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond linking the mol­ecules in the crystal structure.
