Chiral Hydroxylamines. V. (2S,3S)-N-Benzyl-N-[3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-2-butyl]hydroxylamine

The molecular structure of the title compound, C₁₆H₂₆N₂O₃, has been determined in order to establish the stereochemical effect of the addition of methyl magnesium bromide to the precursor nitrone. The molecular conformation is influenced by an intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction [O—H...O 2.714 (4) Å] and the packing in the crystal is mainly the result of van der Waals interactions.
