Background: Edible fats and oils are very important in nutrition and as main source of energy and also essential nutrients. There are several methods for the analysis of edible fats and oils, but nowadays Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is emerging as a powerful tool (albeit complex and high-tech demanding) to identify, quantify and differentiate...

The synthesis of a suitably protected β-d-glucopyranosyl-(S)-α-methylserine derivative—a new conformationally constrained glycosylated quaternary amino acid analogue of β-d-glucopyranosyl-l-serine—is described. This compound can be used as an attractive building block for the synthesis of new, constrained glycopeptides.
