| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the methanogenesis by methanogenic bacteria, CO2 is fixed as N-formyl to methanofuran (MF). To mimic such processes chemically, catalytic systems were searched, in terms of the N-formylation of benzylamine as a model of MF. The Cu-diphosphine complex/polymethylhydrosiloxane system was found to be effective. In addition, the effects of humic substances, which are distributed in habitat of the bacteria, on the efficiency of N-formylation were also investigated.
