title: Molecular structure of lathyritol, a galactosylbornesitol from Lathyrus odoratus seeds, by NMR.
abstract: The molecular structure of galactosyl-D-(-)-bornesitol, a novel compound isolated from sweet pea seeds, was determined to be alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->3)-1-O-methyl-1D-myo-inositol by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and is assigned the trivial name lathyritol.
