✦ Synopsis
A method is presented for determining (3-N)-oxalyl2,3-diaminopropanoic acid ( (\beta)-ODAP), the most potent neurotoxic substance of the seeds and seedlings of Lathyrus sativus, and its much less toxic 2 -isomer ( (\alpha) ODAP). The separation of the two forms is achieved after derivatization with phenylisothiocyanate employing a HPLC system. This method was used to monitor the isomerization of (\beta)-ODAP to (\alpha)-ODAP at different time intervals and to quantify the toxin level in seed extracts. cे 1993 Academic Press, Inc.

The 'H and 13C NMR data of DAPRO, a-and p-ODAP were measured at varying pH values and the physical relevance of these data was studied. As a potential way to detoxify the neurotoxin p-ODAP, its isomerization was studied at room temperature and at 60°C. An unknown hydrolysate is identified as
