High selectivity and high yield characterize the oxidation of glycerol into dihydroxyacetone using catalyst 1, with benzoquinone or air as the oxidant. The mechanism proposed involves reversible palladium‐alkoxide formation with the turnover‐limiting reoxidation of the palladium complex.

AbstractBy combining results from a variety of mass spectrometric techniques (metastatle ion, collisional activation, collision‐induced dissociative ionization, neutralization–reionization spectrometry and appearance energy measurements) and the classical method of isotopic labelling, a unified mechanism is proposed for the complex unimolecular chemistry of ionized 1,2‐propanediol. The key intermediates involved are the stable hydrogen‐bridged radical cations [CH2C(H)H…︁O…︁O(H)CH3]+˙, which were generated independently from [4‐methoxy, 1‐butanol]+˙ (loss of C2H4) and [1‐methoxyglycerol]+˙ (loss of CH2O), [CH3CO…︁H…︁O(H)CH3]+˙ and the related ion‐dipole complex [CH2C(OH)CH3/H2O]+˙. The latter species serves as the precursor for the loss of CH3˙ and in this reaction the same non‐ergodic behaviour is observed as in the loss of CH3˙ from the ionized enol of acetone.
