    Abstract

    High-resolution 1H and 13C NMR of N-acetylaspartic acid as its 2-(S)-butyl diester allows the two enantiomers to be unambiguously identified. Analysis of urine samples from five patients with Canavan disease (N-aspartoacylase deficiency) showed that more than 95% of the excreted N-acetylaspartate had the S-configuration.
