A dipeptide on hydrolysis gives two amino acids $(\mathrm{X})$ and $(\mathrm{Y})$. If the dipeptide is first treated with $\mathrm{HNO}_{2}$ and then hydrolysis is carried out, (X) and lactic acid are obtained. (X) on heating gives 2, 5-diketopiperazine as shown below. Identify (X) and (Y), and write their sequence in the dipeptide.
