Kitadai, Norio; Nakamura, Ryuhei; Yamamoto, Masahiro; Okada, Satoshi; Takahagi, Wataru; Nakano, Yuko; Takahashi, Yoshio; Takai, Ken; Oono, Yoshi published an article in 2021. The article was titled 《Thioester synthesis through geoelectrochemical CO2 fixation on Ni sulfides》, and you may find the article in Communications Chemistry.Application In Synthesis of 1-Iodopyrrolidine-2,5-dione The information in the text is summarized as follows:
A prevailing scenario of the origin of life postulates thioesters as key intermediates in protometabolism, but there is no exptl. support for the prebiotic CO2 fixation routes to thioesters. Here we demonstrate that, under a simulated geoelectrochem. condition in primordial ocean hydrothermal systems (-0.6 to -1.0 V vs. the standard hydrogen electrode), nickel sulfide (NiS) gradually reduces to Ni0, while accumulating surface-bound carbon monoxide (CO) due to CO2 electroreduction The resultant partially reduced NiS realizes thioester (S-Me thioacetate) formation from CO and methanethiol even at room temperature and neutral pH with the yield up to 35% based on CO. This thioester formation is not inhibited, or even improved, by 50:50 coprecipitation of NiS with FeS or CoS (the maximum yields; 27 or 56%, resp.). Such a simple thioester synthesis likely occurred in Hadean deep-sea vent environments, setting a stage for the autotrophic origin of life. After reading the article, we found that the author used 1-Iodopyrrolidine-2,5-dione(cas: 516-12-1Application In Synthesis of 1-Iodopyrrolidine-2,5-dione)
1-Iodopyrrolidine-2,5-dione(cas: 516-12-1) is used in the preparation of vinyl sulfones from olefins and benzenesulfinic acid. It acts as a source for I+ and involved in Hunsdiecker reactions for the conversion of cinnamic acids, and propiolic acids to the corresponding alfa-halostyrenes and 1-halo-1-alkynes respectively.
