A dipeptide taste ligand L-aspartyl-D-2-aminobutyric acid-(S)-alpha-ethylbenzylamide was found to be about 2000 times more potent than sucrose. To investigate the molecular basis of its potent sweet taste, we carried out conformational analysis of this molecular and several related analogues by NMR

Abstract
4‐Acetylpyridine reacts stereoselectively with benzaldehyde under basic conditions to afford rac‐1. The constitution of 1 was determined by the long‐range connectivities revealed by the H, C‐COLOC spectrum. The relative stereochemistry of the chiral centers C‐2 to C‐6 was obtained from ^3^J~HH~ couplings. The stereochemistry at the non‐proton bearing C‐1 was established by through‐space connectivities from ROESY and semiquantitative analysis of ^3^J~CH~ from an inverse 2D‐NMR spectrum (HMBC). The NMR findings were confirmed by single crystal X‐ray diffraction.
