Thioglucose tetraacetate

The degradation of glucosinolates by ammonia in aqueous methanol has been investigated with simple hydroxamic acid derivatives (21) as model substrates. Nitriles or hydroxynitriles and thioglucose and its dimer, bis-(D-glucopyranosyl)disulphide, were the major products. In a similar study, use was made of the [4, 5 - H] labelled derivative (22), prepared by reaction of the chloride (23) with 1-thioglucose 2,3,4,6-tetraacetate and subsequent deacetylation. ...
