Abstract.2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-1-S-benzhydroximoyl-l-thio-a-o-glucopyranose (a-GSL) is the first synthetic a-glucosinolate. C2~H25NO~0S, Mr = 483.5, monoclinic, C2, a = 16.247 (9), b = 11.182 (7), c = 13.420 (6) A, fl = 91.62 (4) °, V = 2437.33 A 3, Z = 4, Dm= 1.309, Dx = 1.317 Mg m -3, A(Mo Ka) = 0.711 A, F(000) = 1016, room temperature, final R = 0.052 for 3712 unique reflections. The stereochemistry around the C=N bond was determined. The glucose residue has the expected 4C~ conformation and the hydroxyl group on the N atom is found to be syn to the sugar ring. The crystal structure is stabilized by packing interactions. The structural features at the glucosidic position are: C
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
