The biosynthesis of ethylene, which functions as a fruit‐ripening hormone in plants, from methionine via aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid is inhibited by 1 . In the presence of apple tissue, 1 slowly forms 1,4‐pentadiene 2 via a radical pathway; this is accompanied by inhibition of the ethylene‐forming system.
