It is not a homework , I'm a physicist and I'm interested in finding a reaction that has the form:

A + B -> 2C

I mean: a molecule of sometingA reacts with a molecule of somethingB and both are transformed into somethingC. Perhaps this is a trivial question for a chemist, but I found no answer myself.

Why I need this? I work on physical properties of bio-chemical systems, and I study them by numerical calculations. See

http://prl.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v105/i5/e058102

and

http://www.physorg.com/news201171540.html

Unfortunately, the real bio-chemical system cannot be isolated from the cells, in order to compare the results of my calculations with experiments. But I found that some more simple reaction can work as well; it will include the reaction I described before. I know that this can seem strange for you...

thank you in advance!

Hydrolysis of acid anhydrides? (e.g. (CH₃CO)₂O + H₂O  2 CH₃CO₂H )?
