“…Methanol (Sigma-Aldrich, Chromasolv Plus), methionine (Sigma-Aldrich, C98 %), cysteine (SigmaAldrich, C98 %), tryptophan (Sigma-Aldrich, C98 %), threonine (Sigma-Aldrich, C98 %), thiamine HCl (SigmaAldrich, C98 %), biotin (Sigma-Aldrich, C98 %), niacin (Sigma-Aldrich, C98 %), and p-aminobenzoic acid (SigmaAldrich, C98 %) were used as purchased. Cyclohexene is known to undergo auto-oxidation in air [26,27], and these oxidation products have a detrimental effect on catalyst stability. Thus, the reactions performed here used cyclohexene containing butylated hydroxytoluene as an oxidation inhibitor (Sigma-Aldrich, C99 %).…”
