In a recent paper, we suggested that the acid- or base-catalyzed dehydration of a hydrated carbonyl compound provides a suitable foundation for an organic-based pH oscillator. Here we present the first experimental example of such an oscillator in a flow reactor, utilizing the base-catalyzed dehydration of methylene glycol as a source of positive feedback (OH- autocatalysis) coupled with the base-catalyzed hydrolysis of gluconolactone for negative feedback (H+ production). The large amplitude oscillations (between pH 7 and 10) are reproduced in a kinetic model of the reaction. Such experiments present new possibilities in the design of pH oscillators.
