Phenylpropyl isothiocyanate

Isothiocyanates are sulphur- and nitrogen-containing phytochemicals with the general formula R-NSC, e.g. phenylethyl isothiocyanate 199, 3-phenylpropyl isothiocyanate 200 and benzyl isothiocyanate 201 (Structure 4.58). Isothiocyanates occur naturally as glucosinolate conjugates mainly in cruciferous vegetables. Isothiocyanates are also responsible for the typical flavour of these vegetables [1-4,21-23, 25, 54]. 

Isothiocyanates such as benzyl isothiocyanate (50), phenylethyl isothiocyanate (51), 3-phenylpropyl isothiocyanate (52), and so on also are found in essential oils.
