Abstract
-
A novel indole glucosinolate has been identified as a major constituent of cabbage seed and rapeseed. It was purified as the corresponding desulpho derivative by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and subjected to analysis by thin layer chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance and ultraviolet spectroscopy, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. These studies indicate that the new glucosinolate is 4-hydroxy-3-indolylmethyl glucosinolate. © 1982 Academic Press, Inc.
