The structure of two cyclic amides, comprised of methylene and peptide groups, is described. The cyclic amides form parallel columns of stacked hydrogen-bonded rings. The cyclic dimer of butyramide (1,6-diaza-2,7-cyclodecadione) (I), C8H14N2O2, forms monoclinic crystals, space group P2(1)/n, a = 4.874 (2), b = 11.714 (4), c = 8.088 (2) angstrom, beta = 107.3 (3)-degrees, R = 0.125 for 536 observed reflections, I > 3sigma(I), Z = 2, D(x) = 1.28 g cm-3, lambda(Cu Kalpha) = 1.5418 angstrom, mu = 7.26 cm-1, T = 298 K. Extra peaks were found near the peptide groups, but the R factor could not be reduced by introducing additional parameters to account for disorder. The ten-membered ring skeleton adopts a centrosymmetric crown conformation which is rarely found in other ten-atom rings, but had been described for its isomer 1,5-diaza-6,10-cyclodecadione. A cyclic trimer of beta-alanine (1,5,9-triaza-2,6,10-cyclododecatrione) (2), C9H15N3O3, is also studied. It forms trigonal crystals, a = b = 13.74 (2), c = 4.82 (1) angstrom, space group R3m, R = 0.060 for 161 observed reflections, I > 2.5 sigma(I), Z = 3, D(x) = 1.35 g cm-3. lambda(Cu Kalpha) = 1.5418 angstrom, mu = 8.16 cm-1, T = 298 K. The 12-atom ring has two conformations which are mirror images and co-exist in the crystal. They appear super-imposed in the solved structure. The peptide groups are planar and the organization of the stacked rings is very similar to that of an alpha-helix.
