The X-ray diffraction structures of three N alpha-protected, C alpha-activated MeAib derivatives are reported. They are Tos-MeAib-Cl, Tos-MeAib-N3 and Tos-MeAib-O-Piv. The geometry and conformation of these classical carboxyl activating groups, which have been characterized at atomic resolution for the first time, are discussed.
