Diethylphthalate was added to stoichiometric excess of ethylenediamine in ether. The mixture was refluxed for 3 h and then evaporated on a water bath yielding a jelly like mass which was dissolved in water and evaporated once again after washing with chloroform. The resulting mass when treated with ethanol to form a precipitate which was filtered, washed with ether and dried in a vacuum desiccator. The dried precipitate was dissolved in water and, on slow evaporation of this aqueous solution, the title compound was obtained as colourless blocks (yield: 70%; melting point: 160°).
The H atoms of the water molecules were located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. All the other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic) or 0.97 (CH2) Å and N—H = 0.86 (NH) or 0.89 (NH3) Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq (parent atom) for aromatic, CH2 or NH, or 1.5Ueq (parent atom) for NH3. In addition to the 1905 unique reflections, 81 Friedel pairs were measured. However, owing to the abosence of atoms with significant anamalous dispersion effects, these data were merged.
Amino acids are classic compounds and exhibit various interesting biological activities. As enzymes (biopolymers of α-aminoacids), they catalyze various biochemical transformation with high efficiency by adopting appropriate aminoacid sequences (Salemme, 1977; McCord & Fridovich, 1969). The monomer γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) serves as neurotransmitter while δ-aminoolevulinic acid is involved in the biosynthesis of heme unit (Fujimori et al., 2006; Tahara et al., 2007). β-amino-iso-butyric acid is a metabolite in the catabolism of pyrimidine bases (Van Kuilenburg et al., 2006). In addition, the aminoacids being bifunctional in nature can act as synthons for a variety of organic compounds (March, 1977). The title compound, (I) is an amino acid-like structure containing a protonated ammonium (NH3+) and a deprotonated carboxylate (COO-) groups with the amide group in the middle.
The aymmetric part of the unit cell contains two zwitterionic residues (A & B) of 2-[(2-Ammonium-ethylamino)-carbonyl]-benzoate and one lattice water molecule (Fig 1). In both the residues of A and B, the carboxylate group is twisted from the plane of the attached benzene ring with the angles of 35.6 (4) and 36.2 (5)°, respectively. As the title compound has amino acid-like structure it is more appropriate to detail the conformation in the same nomenclature followed in amino acid complexes (Allen, 2002). Thus, from the phenyl ring, the side chain conformations are observed to be trans/gauche I/ gauche II and trans/gauche II/gauche II for residues A and B, respectively (Table 1). The C–O bond distances in the carboxylate groups are nearly equal and lie midway between the usual single and double C–O bond distances as found in many zwitterionic amino acid complexes (Anitha et al., 2005).
In both the residues, the side chain is folded back to form intramolecular ring motif of S(10). This amino-carboxylate interaction is very similar to the head-to-tail sequence observed in amino acid complexes. The crystal structure is stabilized by an intricate three-dimensional hydrogen bonding network (Fig 2). N11—H11···O17 and N21—H21···O27 H-bond interactions in residues A & B respectively, lead to C(4) chain motifs running along the a axis of the unit cell. In residue A, intramolecular N12—H12B···O11 hydrogen bond and an intermolecular N12—H12C···O11 hydrogen bond lead to a distinct C21(4) chain motif running along the a axis of the unit cell. In residue B, the amino and carboxylate groups interact through the water molecule forming a C33(8) chain motif. Apart from these, the residues A and B are connected through other N—H···O hydrogen bonds bringing amino and carboxylate groups to close proximity in the unit cell thereby forming hydrophilic layers across z = 1/2 and 1 with hydrophobic layers across z = 1/4 and 3/4. These alternate hydrophobic and hydrophilic layers are often observed in amino acid complexes (e.g., Anitha et al., 2005).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Amino acids are classic compounds and exhibit various interesting biological activities. As enzymes (biopolymers of α-aminoacids), they catalyze various biochemical transformation with high efficiency by adopting appropriate aminoacid sequences (Salemme, 1977; McCord & Fridovich, 1969). The monomer γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) serves as neurotransmitter while δ-aminoolevulinic acid is involved in the biosynthesis of heme unit (Fujimori et al., 2006; Tahara et al., 2007). β-amino-iso-butyric acid is a metabolite in the catabolism of pyrimidine bases (Van Kuilenburg et al., 2006). In addition, the aminoacids being bifunctional in nature can act as synthons for a variety of organic compounds (March, 1977). The title compound, (I) is an amino acid-like structure containing a protonated ammonium (NH3+) and a deprotonated carboxylate (COO-) groups with the amide group in the middle.
The aymmetric part of the unit cell contains two zwitterionic residues (A & B) of 2-[(2-Ammonium-ethylamino)-carbonyl]-benzoate and one lattice water molecule (Fig 1). In both the residues of A and B, the carboxylate group is twisted from the plane of the attached benzene ring with the angles of 35.6 (4) and 36.2 (5)°, respectively. As the title compound has amino acid-like structure it is more appropriate to detail the conformation in the same nomenclature followed in amino acid complexes (Allen, 2002). Thus, from the phenyl ring, the side chain conformations are observed to be trans/gauche I/ gauche II and trans/gauche II/gauche II for residues A and B, respectively (Table 1). The C–O bond distances in the carboxylate groups are nearly equal and lie midway between the usual single and double C–O bond distances as found in many zwitterionic amino acid complexes (Anitha et al., 2005).
In both the residues, the side chain is folded back to form intramolecular ring motif of S(10). This amino-carboxylate interaction is very similar to the head-to-tail sequence observed in amino acid complexes. The crystal structure is stabilized by an intricate three-dimensional hydrogen bonding network (Fig 2). N11—H11···O17 and N21—H21···O27 H-bond interactions in residues A & B respectively, lead to C(4) chain motifs running along the a axis of the unit cell. In residue A, intramolecular N12—H12B···O11 hydrogen bond and an intermolecular N12—H12C···O11 hydrogen bond lead to a distinct C21(4) chain motif running along the a axis of the unit cell. In residue B, the amino and carboxylate groups interact through the water molecule forming a C33(8) chain motif. Apart from these, the residues A and B are connected through other N—H···O hydrogen bonds bringing amino and carboxylate groups to close proximity in the unit cell thereby forming hydrophilic layers across z = 1/2 and 1 with hydrophobic layers across z = 1/4 and 3/4. These alternate hydrophobic and hydrophilic layers are often observed in amino acid complexes (e.g., Anitha et al., 2005).
