We report here a novel reductivecouplingreaction of conjugated, non- or poorly enolizable aldehydes induced by H(2) S and operative in aqueoussolutions under prebiotically relevant conditions. This reaction leads from retinal to β-carotene, and from benzylic aldehydes to the corresponding diarylethylenes. This novel reaction also opens a new potentially prebiotic pathway leading from glyoxylic acid
