Abstract
Results have been obtained consistent with the hypothesis that aci tautomers of nitro compounds are precursors of glucosinolates. When dl-[3-¹⁴C]phenylalanine and [¹⁴C]1-nitro-2-phenylethane were fed to shoots of Tropaeolum majus L., the incorporation of tracer from each compound into benzylglucosinolate was found to be similar. Conversion of ¹⁴C from 1-nitro-2-phenylethane into the aglycone moiety of benzyl-glucosinolate was specific. The natural occurrence of 1-nitro-2-phenylethane in T. majus and its formation in this plant from [1-¹⁴C]phenylacetaldoxime were demonstrated by gas chromatography and by means of a trapping experiment.
