Abstract
A novel gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for analyzing sulfonium compounds as their S-demethylated silyl derivatives has clarified the origin of 5-dimethylsulfoniopentanoate. This compound, previously reported from flowers of Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC. (Cruciferae), is generated from glucoerucin during treatment with hot 6 N HCl. Glucoerucin is the characteristic glucosinolate of D. tenuifolia.
