Hydrothermolysis of D-glucose, cellobiose, and fl-cyclodextrin leads to the formation of small amounts of 3-deoxyhexonic acids. These acids are known to be produced by the alkaline degradation of carbohydrates. The formation under neutral hydrothermal conditions of the 3-deoxyhexonic acids provides evidence for the formation of 3-deoxy-D-erythro-hex-2-ulose, a compound that has been reported to play a role in both alkaline and acidic conversion of carbohydrates. Hydrothermolysis of 2-and 3-deoxy-o-arabino-hexonic acid does not lead to significant decarboxylation, and therefore these compounds cannot be considered to play a major role in the initial hydrothermal decarboxylation of biomass.

## Abstract Rate constants and activation parameters are reported for the decarboxylation of malonic acid in seven normal alkanols (butanolβl to decanolβl inclusive). It is found that the enthalpy of activation of the reaction is a linear function of the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon ch
