- It has been known for a very long time that lemon juice can mask the "fishy" smell of cooked fish. The "fishy" smell is often due to the presence of amines, such as putrescine, shown below. Lemon juice contains up to 5% citric acid, also shown below. Based on your knowledge amine chemistry and carboxylic acid chemistry, what could be occurring when lemon juice is put on the cooked fish? H₂N NH₂ putrescine, a smelly fish compound HO O O OH 0 OH OH citric acid, a major componant in lemon juice The citric acid undergoes an E2 reaction with the putrescine. The citric acid protonates the putrescine. The citric aicd undergoes and Sn2 reactions with putrescine. The citric acid oxidizes the putrescine. The citric acid hybridizes the putrescine.arrow_forwardWhen diethyl ether is spilled on the skin, the skin takes on a dry appearance.
