Glycosylamine

Glycosylamines are a class of biochemical compounds consisting of a glycosyl group attached to an amino group, -NR2.

They are also known as N-glycosides,[1] as they are a type of glycoside.

Glycosyl groups can be derived from carbohydrates.

The glycosyl group and amino group are connected with a β-N-glycosidic bond, forming a cyclic hemiaminal ether bond (α-aminoether).

Examples include nucleosides such as adenosine.
