AbstractThe crystal structures of the bicyclic /3-1actam, rac-( 2R*,4S*,6S* )-4-chloro-4-methyl-8-oxo-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]octane-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester, CIoH14C1NO3 (1), and the bicyclic 7-1actams, rac-(5R*,7S*,9S*)-7-chloro-7-methyl-3-oxooctahydroindolizine-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester, C11HI6CINO3 (2), and rac-(5R* , 6S*, 10R*)-3-oxo-6-vinyloctahydro-lHpyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester, C13HI9NO3 (3), have been established by X-ray crystallography. In (1) and (2) the a-amino ester function and the CI atom occupy an axial position in a chair-like piperidine ring. In (3) the methyl ester and the vinyl group are equatorially placed on the chair-like sevent Present address: European Commission, Institute for Transuranium Elements,
