Abstract
A chlorine-containing non-protein amino acid which was recently discovered from the fruit bodies ofAmanita gymnopus (2S)-2-amino-5-chloro-4-hydroxy-5-hexenoic acid, was isolated and crystallized for the first time from the fruit bodies of an unknown member ofAmanita belonging to the sectionRoanokenses, subsectionSolitariae. The results of elementary analyses, determination of optical rotations,1H- and13C-NMR-spectra, and some chemical reactions supported an earlier proposed structure.
