Chemical properties of the natural neurotoxin of Lathyrus sativus 3‐N‐oxalyl‐2,3‐diamino‐propanoic acid (β‐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, α and β-ODAP were measured at varying pH values and the physical relevance of these data was studied. As a potential way to detoxify the neurotoxin β-ODAP, its isomerization was studied at room temperature and at 60°C. An unknown hydrolysate is identified as DAPRO.
