The diketopiperazine suggested to be the intermediate during the spontaneous isomerization of β-ODAP and α-ODAP was synthesized.Its behaviour was studied at selected pH values and provided evidence that its natural occurrence is unlikely. 2-Hydroxy-imidazolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (for the rearrangement β-ODAP α-ODAP) or 2-hydroxy-pyrimidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (for the rearrangement γ-ODAB α-ODAB) are suggested to be the unstable intermediates.
