Abstract
The conversion of the cyanogenic glucoside prunasin into the corresponding prunasinamide has been observed in the leaves of Olinia ventosa and other prunasin-containing species only if reactive oxygen species were produced. In vitro, pure prunasin was quickly degraded with H2O2 indicating that the Radziszewski reaction is a feasible mechanism for amide generation.
