Carbenes in Water...

Vitamin B1 theory from 1958 is finally proven by scientists after being called "crazy"

By Eric Ralls

A 1958 theory on the action of

Thiamine proposed that it may

form carbenes, highly reactive carbon chain compounds.

 

This was dismissed, because

"everybody knew" carbenes could not

exist in water ...

 

Now, with a properly designed molecular protection, we find that

they can exist in water.

 

This opens up new avenues

for water-based organic chemistry.

 

And potentially new understanding

of the activity of Thiamine, and other

Vitamins.
