Can you swap one for the other?

No. Rye and pineapple are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common

Almost everything rye carries, pineapple has too: 231 of rye's 258 flavor molecules also occur in pineapple. Among the shared key aromas are ethyl 2-methylbutyrate (fruity, apple) and ethyl octanoate (fruity, wine). Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
