描述
Ajoene is a member of the class of compounds known as sulfoxides. Sulfoxides are compounds containing a sulfoxide functional group, with the structure RS(=O)R' (R,R' not H). Ajoene is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Ajoene can be found in garlic, onion-family vegetables, and soft-necked garlic, which makes ajoene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. The name (and pronunciation) is derived from "ajo", the Spanish word for garlic. It is found as a mixture of up to four isomers, which differ in terms of the stereochemistry of central alkene (E- vs Z-) and the chirality of the sulfoxide .
