Question 1. The compound capsaicin is the flavor
component that gives "heat" to hot peppers. One step in
the biosynthesis of capsaicin is the conversion of vanillin H3CO
to vanillamine through the action of the aminotransferase
enzyme. Organic chemists also have non-enzymatic ways
to carry out this type of transformation. If you wanted to convert vanillin to vanillamine, how
would you do it? Feel free to review Chapter 16.
