title: Chemical properties of the natural neurotoxin of Lathyrus sativus 3-N-oxalyl-2,3-diamino-propanoic acid (beta-ODAP), its nontoxic 2-N-oxalyl isomer, and its hydrolysis product 2,3-diamino-propanoic acid (DAPRO) by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy.
abstract: The 1H and 13C NMR data of DAPRO, alpha- and beta-ODAP were measured at varying pH values and the physical relevance of these data was studied. As a potential way to detoxify the neurotoxin beta-ODAP, its isomerization was studied at room temperature and at 60 degrees C. An unknown hydrolysate is identified as DAPRO.
