Synthesis of raphanatin and its 6-benzylaminopurine analogue

Abstract

The complete structures of raphanatin, the stable zeatin metabolite isolated from de-rooted radish seedlings, and the analogous 6-benzylaminopurine metabolite from the same plant system, have been confirmed by synthesis to be the 7-β-D-glucopyranosides of zeatin and 6-BAP respectively.
