Application

Acrolein diethyl acetal is widely used to carry out chemoselective Heck arylation to synthesize either 3-arylpropanoate esters or cinnamaldehyde derivatives.

It can also be used as one of the precursors to synthesize natural products like (−)-(Z)-Deoxypukalide, (−)-Laulimalide, botryodiplodin, neolaulimalide and isolaulimalide.

Myrosinase (β-thioglucoside glucohydrolase, enzyme nomenclature, EC 3.2.1.147, TGG) is a highly abundant protein in Arabidopsis guard cells, of which TGG1 and TGG2 function redundantly in abscisic acid (ABA)- and methyl jasmonate-induced stomatal closure. Reactive carbonyl species (RCS) are α,β-unsaturated aldehydes
