Carbon dioxide acid formation

A little later, Russell et al.19 tried to obtain methanol from carbon dioxide by electrolysis. Reduction of carbon dioxide to formate ion took place in a neutral electrolyte at a mercury electrode. On the other hand, formic acid was reduced to methanol either in a perchloric acid solution at a lead electrode or in a buffered formic acid solution at a tin electrode. The largest faradaic efficiency for methanol formation from formic acid was ca. 12%, with poor reproducibility, after passing 1900 C in the perchloric acid solution at Pb in a very narrow potential region (-0.9 to -1.0 V versus SCE). In the buffered formic acid solution (0.25 M HCOOH + 0.1 M... 

These complexes show an interesting chemistry, e. g. they undergo coupling with ethene to give zirconacyclopentane 71 or with water to give zirconoxane 72, or they can undergo insertion of carbon dioxide with formation of the complexes 73 and 74. In all of these reactions, the pyridine moiety is restored. With acids, complex 73 liberates the corresponding carbonic acids 75 or esters 76. 

In this reaction, pyruvic acid is oxidized to carbon dioxide with formation of acetyl-SCoA and NAD+ is reduced to NADH. As noted in chapter 15, this reaction requires the participation of thiamine pyrophosphate as coenzyme. Here too the NADH formed is converted back to NAD+ by the electron transport chain. As noted above, the acetyl-SCoA is consumed by the citric acid cycle and CoASH is regenerated. 

Hexammino-platinic Carbonate, [Pt(NH3)6](C03)2, is a colourless powder which is almost insoluble in water but soluble in acids with evolution of carbon dioxide and formation of the corresponding salt.3... 

Add hydrochloric acid solution as a dilute solution (approximately 1 molar) to the mixture of the previous step. This results in carbon dioxide gas formation (effervescent gas). 

Course of the reaction. In Table I, data are presented from two typical experiments which show the relative rates of formation of ammonia and carbon dioxide. These data serve to indicate a possible course of the urea-ethylene glycol reaction. Clearly, the synthesis of ethyleneurea did not proceed through simple elimination of two moles of water from an equimolar mixture of reactants for there was no evidence that water per se was obtained from the reaction. Indeed, it did not appear to be even a primary product since, if it had been and if it had reacted with urea, then the quantity of carbon dioxide relative to ammonia would have been much higher in the early stages of the reaction. From the very large quantity of ammonia evolved it appeared that the primary product was a carbamate. This carbamic acid ester of ethylene glycol subsequently lost carbon dioxide with formation of the desired C—N bond as indicated by the following equations ... 

Formic acid also reduces stable iminium functionalities (but not in general carbonyl groups). Acridi-nium ions are also readily reduced. This process bears some outward resemblance to the enzymatic transformation of formate to carbon dioxide by formate dehydrogenase, although a molybdenum/sulfur cluster is probably the hydride acceptor in the enzyme. ... 

Treatment of FMC 55626 with triethylamine (Scheme 3) resulted in gas evolution, presumably carbon dioxide, and formation of complex reaction products. Although the components of this reaction have not been identified, the NMR spectrum did show a peak that could be assigned to the methine proton of an isobutyric acid. In the case of two primary amines (methylamine and aniline), cleavage of the acyl oxygen bond occurred to give the bis-amides 7. These amides are similar in activity to FMC 55626 and, like FMC 55626, are several times more active in autoclaved soils. 

Trichloroacetic acid [1, 1194, before references]. Trichloroacetic acid reacts with the cyclic enamine 1-morpholino-l -cyclohexene in ethylene dichloride with elimination of carbon dioxide and formation of N-[l-(trichloromethyl)cyclohexyl]morpholine,... 

A mixture of formalin and ethanol was passed at 240—320 C over various metal oxides supported on silica gel and metal phosphates. The main products were acrolein, acetaldehyde, methanol, and carbon dioxide. Acidic catalysts such as V-P oxides promoted the dehydration of ethanol to ethene. The best catalytic performances for acrolein formation are obtained with nickel phosphate and silica-supported tungsten, zinc, nickel, and magnesium oxides. With a catalyst with a P/Ni atomic ratio of 2/3, the yields of acrolein reach 52 and 65 mol% on ethanol basis with HCHO/ethanol molar ratios of 2 and 3, respectively. Acetaldehyde and methanol are formed by a hydrogen transfer reaction from ethanol to formaldehyde. Then acrolein is formed by an aldol condensation of formaldehyde with the produced acetaldehyde [40],... 

A variation on the transamination approach that also starts with an a-keto acid substrate is to perform a reductive amination catalyzed by amino acid dehydrogenases (dHs) (Scheme 9.31) in combination with the formate dH cofactor recycling system, although other reducing systems can be used. " The generation of carbon dioxide from formate drives the coupled reactions to completion. 

In mammals, purine ribonucleotides are synthesized de novo from amino acids, ribose, carbon dioxide and formate as well as from preformed purine bases and nucleosides through salvage pathways. The general route for de novo biosynthesis is the same in those species of mammals, birds, yeasts and bacteria that have been studied (1). Parasitic protozoans and helminths cannot synthesize purines de novo and thus rely solely on salvage pathways (2-12). 

Decarboxyiative Michael reaction. Addition of a catalytic amount of aniline to a mixture of acetoacetic acid (1) and cyclohexenone (2) in ether at room temperature leads to evolution of carbon dioxide and formation of 3-acetonylcyclohexane-l-one (3). The reaction of (4) with (2) under the same... 

An alternative linker which can serve as both a leaving group and a latent glycosyl acceptor is a mixed carbonate [103]. In this case, suitable activation with a Lewis acid causes extrusion of carbon dioxide and formation of the reactive glycosyl acceptor, which can then be trapped by the glycosyl donor. The mixed carbonate precursor 299 for this decarboxylative glycosylation strategy was prepared as a mixture of stereoisomers...

One of these is by heterotrophic CO2 fixation, first discovered in propionic acid bacteria by Wood and Workman (1936, 1938). The CO2 fixation is especially high when the bacteria are grown on glycerol. Both the fixation of carbon dioxide and formation of succinate by propionibacteria are inhibited by NaF (Wood and Workman, 1940). Another pathway of the condensation of C3- and Ci-compounds was discovered by Swick and Wood (1960), who showed that lliese bacteria contain a transcarboxylase that has a role in producing propionate firom methylmalonyl-CoA. This was preceded by an observation (Wood and Leaver, 1953) fiiat propionic acid bacteria have two mechanisms for CO2 fixation and only one of these is inhibited by NaF. The enzyme, discovered by Swick and Wood, catalyzed a new type of biochemical reactions— transcarboxylation between a carboxyl donor and an acceptor ...
