Abstract
To learn more about the bleaching action of pulps by (hydroxymethyl)phosphines, cinnamaldehyde was reacted with tris(3-hydroxypropyl)phosphine, [HO(CH2)3]3P (THPP), in aqueous solution at room temperature under argon. Self-condensation of the aldehyde into two isomeric products, 2-benzyl-5-phenyl-pent-2,4-dienal and 5-phenyl-2-(phenylmethylene)-4-pentenal, is observed; this implies initial nucleophilic attack of the phosphine at the beta-carbon of the alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde. Reaction in D2O gives the same products in which all but the phenyl and CHO protons are replaced by deuterons. NMR studies are consistent with carbanion formation and subsequent condensation of two phosphonium-containing aldehyde moieties to generate the products with concomitant elimination of phosphine oxide. In D2O in the presence of HCl, THPP reversibly attacks the aldehyde-C atom to form the (alpha-hydroxy)phosphonium derivative [PhCH=C(H)CH(OD)PR3]Cl (where R=(CH2)3OD), which slowly converts into the deuterated bisphosphonium salt [R3PCH(Ph)CD(H)CH(OD)PR3]Cl2 via the deuterated monophosphonium salt [R3PCH(Ph)CD(H)CHO]Cl. The phosphonium intermediates and phosphonium products in this chemistry, although having up to three chiral carbon centers, are formed with high stereoselectivity just in enantiomeric forms. In acetone-H2O (1:1 v/v), a cross-condensation of cinnamaldehyde with acetone to give 6-phenyl-3,5-hexadien-2-one is promoted by THPP via generation of OH-.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
