  • Beschreibung: AbstractIn this work, we investigate the ring closing mechanisms leading to the formation of formose by high‐level ab initio theoretical calculations. We suggest that a water‐mediated ring closing mechanism (through the use of H3O+) is energetically the most favorable pathway for this process. Solvent effects have also been computed and the results further confirm our assertion of the catalytic effect of water in the ring‐closing mechanism of the formose reaction. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
