β¦ Synopsis
IN a recent publication rL there is evidence supporting the formulation of hypoglycin B2 as the dipeptfde Y-L-glut~lO~~no-~-(2-met~lenecyclopropyl) propionic acid (I). This is baeed on hydrolysis experiments on the peptide and its Z,&dinitrophenyl-derivative, together with the indication by Ven Slyke amino-nitrogen snd oarboxyl determinations that the glutamic acid residue is attached by a Y-link. We have been led independently, by similar evidence, to the same conclusion concerning the

## Abstract The dipeptide hypoglycin B, one of two toxins of the ackee fruit (__Blighia sapida__ Koenig), was characterized for the first time by NMR spectral data, which led to the discovery that it exists naturally as a pair of diastereomers. No distinction was observed in the ^1^H NMR signals of
