| چکیده مقاله |
| Formose reaction (FR) is very noteworthy in the context of prebiotic chemistry and origin of life. Because, this reaction is known as the basis of non-biological chemical reactions to produce sugars. Also, Alexander Mikhaylovich Butlerow discovered (Russian chemist) the FR in 1861. moreover, in this work, the FR is performed at pH =10.6 in the presence of an Aerosil (fumed silica) catalyst at methanol (the simplest forms of alcohol) solvent. The product observed in this reaction is 1,2-ethanediol (ethylene glycol). The present study shows that the efficiency of ethylene glycol (simplest diol) production by FR is low in methanolic medium. |
