The synthase enzyme converts the amino acids sulfoxides of the onion into sulfenic acid. The unstable sulfenic acid rearranges itself into syn-ropanethial-S-oxide. Syn-propanethial-S-oxide gets into the air and comes in contact with our eyes. The lachrymal glands become irritated and produces the tears!

hey friend!!!!
Peeling, cutting or crushing an onion's tissue releases enzymes called allinases, which convert these molecules to sulfenic acids. The sulfenic acids, in turn, spontaneously rearrange to form syn-propanethial-S-oxide, the chemical that triggers the tears. Now one may ask, why garlic spares our eyes, this is because the sulfenic acid in garlic takes a different form that does not trigger the tear glands in our eyes. Contrary to popular opinion, it is the chemicals released and not odour that causes tears.
hope it will help you
