The crystals of three glyoxylamide compounds, N,N-diisopropyl(o-methylphenyl)glyoxylamide, C15H21NO2, N,N-diisopropyl(p-methylphenyl)glyoxylamide, C15H21NO2 and N, N-diisopropyl(m,p-dimethylphenyl) glyoxylamide, C16H23NO2, have been analyzed by X-ray structure analysis. In each compound, the two carbonyl groups have a twisted conformation. This results in a short contact between the C atom of one of the carbonyl groups and the C atom of an isopropyl group. On exposure to visible light, a bond may form between these two C atoms and a beta-lactam with a four-membered ring is produced. These results are consistent with those observed in the related glyoxylamide containing no methyl substituents.
