[10e] Acrolein is the precursor to many fragrances produced via this reaction. This reaction is the 4 + 2 cycloaddition of a diene and a dienophile.
ANSWER: Diels-Alder reaction
[10m] This amino acid is produced by combining acrolein with methyl mercaptan and performing the Strecker synthesis. A cobalt-containing enzyme converts homocysteine into this amino acid by adding a methyl group.
ANSWER: methionine [or Met; or M]
[10h] Acrolein is an intermediate in the Skraup synthesis of these compounds. Along with lead oxides, one of these compounds can be used to poison Lindlar catalysts.
