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. 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.
