glucosinolate
glucosinolate
Water-soluble anionic substituted thioglucosides. Glucosinolates have a central C atom which is bonded via an S atom to a glycone group and via an N atom to a sulfonated oxime group, and which also carries a side-group. The side-chain and sulfate group have an <i>anti</i> stereochemical configuration across the C=N double bond.
