Conformational switching caused by biphenyl substitution at the C<sup>α</sup>position: ethyl 2-benzyl-2-(formylamino)-3-phenylpropionate and ethyl 3-(1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl)-2-(formylamino)-2-(4-phenylbenzyl)propionate

The title compounds, C19H21NO3 and C31H29NO3, are derivatives of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid, with benzyl and dibenzyl substitution. The pseudo-peptide formed by the N-formyl and ethyl ester substitution at the C-alpha position switches from a trans - trans to a trans - cis configuration as a result of biphenyl substitution. The packing of the compounds is stabilized by N - H...O and C - H...O hydrogen bonds.
