Definition
Allylsulfenate, also known as allylsulfenic acid or 2-propenesulfenic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as allyl sulfur compounds. Allyl sulfur compounds are compounds containing an allylsulfur group, with the general structure H2C(=CH2)CS. Allylsulfenate is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Allylsulfenate can be found in a number of food items such as wax gourd, acorn, pineappple sage, and calabash, which makes allylsulfenate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as allyl sulfur compounds. Allyl sulfur compounds are compounds containing an allylsulfur group, with the general structure H2C(=CH2)CS.
