Synthesis of degraded cyanogenic glycosides from Sambucus nigra.
Two natural cyanohydrins, isolated from Sambucus nigra, have been synthesised from mandelonitrile and penta-O-acetyl-beta-galactopyranose. The synthesis confirmed the stereochemistry of the compounds, which had been assigned on biogenetic grounds.
