Definition of osides

see glycosides

glycosides: Originally mixed acetals resulting from the attachment of a glycosyl group to a non-acyl group RO- (which itself may be derived from a saccharide) and chalcogen replacements thereof (RS-, RSe-). The bond between the glycosyl group and the OR group is called a glycosidic bond. 2-Carb-33.1. Also called osides. By extension, the terms N-glycosides and C-glycosides are used as class names for glycosylamines and for compounds having a glycosyl group attached to a hydrocarbyl group respectively. These terms are misnomers and should not be used. The preferred terms are glycosylamines and C-glycosyl compounds, respectively. 2-Carb-33.1. 2-Carb-33.5, 2-Carb-33.7. Cf. glycosylamines.

m and n may be 0, 1, 2, etc.; and x usually 2 or 3. 4--D-glucopyranosylbenzoic acid a C-glycosyl compound
