Abstract
The enzymic hydrolysis of 1-methoxyindol-3-ylmethyl glucosinolate (1b) proceeds via the corresponding isothiocyanate (2b), thus providing evidence for a previously unsubstantiated breakdown pathway and establishing a link with 1-methoxycyclobrassinin (4b) and related indole phytoalexins.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
