In a dehydroamino acid with a C=C bond between the α- and β-C atoms, the amino acid residues are linked trans to each other and there are no strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The torsion angles indicate a non-helical conformation of the molecule.

In the crystal structure of the dehydrodipeptide (Boc-Phe-ΔAla-OiPr), the molecule has a trans configuration of the N-methylamide group. Its geometry is different from saturated peptides but is in excellent agreement with other dehydroalanine compounds. In the crystal, an N—HO hydrogen bond links the molecules in a herringbone packing arrangement.

In the title hydrated molecular salt, C3H8N+·C2HO4−·0.5H2O, the water O atom lies on a crystallographic twofold axis. The C=C—C—N torsion angle in the cation is 2.8 (3)° and the dihedral angle between the CO2 and CO2H planes in the anion is 1.0 (4)°. In the crystal, the hydrogen oxalate ions are linked by O—HO hydrogen bonds, generating [010] chains. The allylammonium cations bond to the chains through N—HO and N—H(O,O) hydrogen bonds. The water molecule accepts two N—HO hydrogen bonds and makes two O—HO hydrogen bonds. Together, the hydrogen bonds generate (100) sheets.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C2H8N+·C4H5O4−, consists of two allylammonium cations and two hydrogen succinate anions (Z′ = 2). One of the cations has a near-perfect syn-periplanar (cis) conformation with an N—C—C—C torsion angle of 0.4 (3)°, while the other is characterized by a gauche conformation and a torsion angle of 102.5 (3)°. Regarding the anions, three out of four carboxilic groups are twisted with respect to the central C–CH2–CH2–C group [dihedral angles = 24.4 (2), 31.2 (2) and 40.4 (2)°], the remaining one being instead almost coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 4.0 (2)°. In the crystal, there are two very short, near linear O—HO hydrogen bonds between anions, with the H atoms shifted notably from the donor O towards the OO midpoint. These O—HO hydrogen bonds form helical chains along the [011] which are further linked to each other through N—HO hydrogen bonds (involving all the available NH groups), forming layers lying parallel to (100).

In the title hydrated molecular salt, C4H12N+·C2HO4−·0.5H2O, the O atom of the water molecule lies on a crystallographic twofold axis. The dihedral angle between the CO2 and CO2H planes of the anion is 18.47 (8)°. In the crystal, the anions are connected to each other by strong near-linear O—HO hydrogen bonds. The water molecules are located between the chains of anions and isobutylamine cations; their O atoms participate as donors and acceptors, respectively, in O—HO and N—HO hydrogen bonds, which form channels (dimensions = 4.615 and 3.387 Å) arranged parallel to [010].

The title salt, 2C3H8N+·C2O42−, crystallized with six independent allylammonium cations and three independent oxalate dianions in the asymmetric unit. One of the oxalate dianions is nearly planar [dihedral angle between CO2 planes = 1.91 (19)°], while the other two are twisted with angles of 11.3 (3) and 26.09 (13)°. One cation has a synperiplanar (cis) conformation with an N—C—C—C torsion angle of 0.9 (3)°, whereas the five remaining cations are characterized by gauche arrangements, with the N—C—C—C torsion angles ranging from 115.9 (12) to 128.8 (3)°. One of the allylammonium cations is positionally disordered (fixed occupancy ratio = 0.45:0.55). In the crystal, the cations and anions are connected by a number of strong N—HO and N—H(O,O) hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to (001), with the vinyl groups protruding into the space between the layers.
