Gw. Dawson et al., CHEMICAL PRECURSORS FOR STUDYING THE EFFECTS OF GLUCOSINOLATE CATABOLITES ON DISEASES AND PESTS OF OILSEED RAPE (BRASSICA-NAPUS) OR RELATEDPLANTS, Pesticide science, 39(4), 1993, pp. 271-278
A range of 3,5-disubstituted 1,3,5-thiadiazinane-2-thiones are describ
ed which decompose in moist air to give organic isothiocyanates. Organ
ic isothiocyanates are the main biologically active catabolites from t
he glucosinolate components of crucifers. The thiadiazinanethiones pro
vide a source of organic isothiocyanates for biological studies and ex
amples of tests with pathogens and insect pests of oilseed rape are gi
ven.
