ESI-MS Insights into Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Coupling of Alcohols
Bibliographic record
Abstract
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling (ADC) reactions catalyzed by a series of Ru and Os complexes were studied by ESI-MS. Important ethoxo, 1-ethoxyethanolate, and hydride intermediates were intercepted in the ADC of ethanol to ethyl acetate. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments were applied as a structure elucidation tool and as a probe of the propensity of the reaction intermediates to evolve acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, and H 2, relevant to the catalytic cycle. The key mechanistic step producing ethyl acetate from the 1-ethoxyethanolate intermediates was documented. Energy-dependent CID experiments demonstrated the importance of a vacant coordination site for efficient production of ethyl acetate. The versatility and potential broad applicability of ESI-MS and its tandem version with CID was further illustrated for the ADC reaction of alcohols with amines, affording amides. A mechanism related to that found for the ester synthesis is plausible, with the key step involving formation of a hemiaminaloxide intermediate.

Full frame distilled prediction
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
