The structure of the title compound, C/sub 14/H/sub 16/NO/sub 3/Br, was determined by X-rays. M /SUB r/ = 326.19, tetragonal, space group P4/sub 3/, a = 9.2030(6), c = 16.9979(9) A, V /SUB c/ = 1439.6 A/sup 3/, Z = 4, D /SUB x/ = 1.51 Mg m/sup -3/. Cu K..cap alpha.. radiation (graphite crystal monochromator, lambda = 1.54184 A), ..mu..(Cu K..cap alpha..) = 39.49 cm/sup -1/, T = 290 K. Final conventional R-factor = 0.039, R /SUB w/ = 0.052 for 2566 unique reflections and 204 variables. The structure was solved using MULTAN and DIRDIF. The presence of bromine in the structure enabled the unambiguous assignment of the space group. The synthesis to prepare the title compound yields only one stereoisomer with the S-configuration, caused by the chirality of the S-proline methyl ester.
