Deuterium studies reveal a new mechanism for the formose reaction involving hydride shifts.

چکیده
In the formose reaction, formaldehyde is converted to glycolaldehyde, its dimer, under credible prebiotic conditions. Breslow proposed a mechanism for the process in 1959, but recent studies by Benner showed that it was wrong in detail. Our present studies clarify the mechanism, which involves the original Breslow intermediates but some different connecting steps.

Evidence for tunneling in base-catalyzed isomerization of glyceraldehyde to dihydroxyacetone by hydride shift under formose conditions.
Hydrogen atom transfer reactions between the aldose and ketose are key mechanistic features in formose chemistry by which formaldehyde is converted to higher sugars under credible prebiotic conditions. For one of these transformations, we have investigated whether hydrogen tunneling makes a significant contribution to the mechanism by examining the deuterium kinetic isotope effect associated wi...

Deuterium labelling is used to show that the disproportionation of thioxanthylium salts involve transfer of a hydride, (deuteride) ion from the9-positionof one molecule of the compound, as its hydro], to the 9 - position of another molecule in the cation form
متن کاملReaction of molecular oxygen with a Pd(II)-hydride to produce a Pd(II)-hydroperoxide: experimental evidence for an HX-reductive-elimination pathway.
The reaction of molecular oxygen with a Pd(II)-hydride species to form a Pd(II)-hydroperoxide represents one of the proposed catalyst reoxidation pathways in Pd-catalyzed aerobic oxidation reactions, but well-defined examples of this reaction were discovered only recently. Here, we present a mechanistic study of the reaction of O2 with trans-(IMes) 2Pd(H)(OBz), 1 (IMes = 1,3-dimesitylimidazol-2...
متن کاملMechanism of hydrogen transfer to imines from a hydroxycyclopentadienyl ruthenium hydride. Support for a stepwise mechanism.
The negligible double kinetic deuterium isotope effect (k(HH)/k(DD)= 1.05) in the reaction where [2,3,4,5-Ph4(eta5-C4COH)Ru(CO)2H (2) transfers a hydride and a proton to N-phenyl-[1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethylidene]amine (4) indicates that no bond to hydrogen is broken or formed in the rate-determining step.
متن کاملThe development of a novel HAuCl4@MOF catalyst and its catalytic application in the formation of dihydrochalcones.
A novel HAuCl4@UiO-66-NH2 material has been obtained and utilized as a heterogeneous Au(III) catalyst. This Au(III) catalyst was able to promote the formation of a variety of dihydrochalcones starting from 2H-chromenes in moderate to good yields. A tandem hydride shift/hydration reaction sequence has been proposed based on deuterium labeling studies, which revealed a 1,5-hydride shift reaction ...
