Imine chemistry represents an important category of chemical reactions involved in the biosynthesis of plant natural products, ranging from the newly discovered mobile defense hormone N-hydroxy-pipecolic acid to the red-to-yellow tyrosine-derived betalain pigments. Spontaneous imine formation reactions have also served as the basis for the evolution of numerous plant metabolic enzymes, such as specialized Pictet-Spenglerases that produce the backbone structures of benzylisoquinoline and monoterpene indole alkaloids and pyridoxal 5'-ph
