The configuration at C-2 of , and , could not be assigned unequivocally. However, strong evidence comes from the 1 H NMR spectra (60MHz, D 2 O) of amino acids and : The proton at C-5 shows up as a doublet of triplets (J 1 = 8Hz, J 2 = 6Hz) at 3.2 ppm for and a quartet (J = 6Hz) at 3.6 ppm for .This deshielding of the C-5 proton in is probably due to the carboxyl group's standing on the same side of the pyrrolidine ring, as indicated. ...
