The title compound, C19H15N3, was prepared by condensation of 3-nitroso­carbazole and aniline with subsequent methyl­ation. The structure is built up of stacks of almost planar mol­ecules. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations predict a completely planar conformation, different from that observed in the crystal lattice. HOMA (harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity) indices, calculated for three aromatic rings, demonstrate the small influence of the azo substituent on π electrons in the carbazole system.

tert-Butoxy­carbonyl­glycyl-dehydro­alanyl-glycine methyl ester (systematic name: methyl {2-[(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)­acetamido]prop-2-enamido}acetate) (Boc0-Gly1-ΔAla2-Gly3-OMe), C13H21N3O6, has been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and by density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6–311+G** level. The peptide chain in both the solid-state and calculated structures adopts neither β nor γ turns. All amino acid residues in the tripeptide sequence are linked trans to each other. The bond lengths and valence angles of the amino acid units in the crystal structure and gas phase are comparable. However, the conformation of the third glycyl residue (Gly3) is different in the crystalline state and in the gas phase. It is stabilized in the calculated structure by an additional intra­molecular short contact between Gly3 NH and methyl ester COMe groups.
