Synthesis of α-amino and α-hydroxy acids under volcanic conditions: implications for the origin of life
摘要:
Facile synthesis of alpha-hydroxy and alpha-amino acids is observed at temperatures from 145 to 280 degrees C with catalytic Ni2+, with cyano ligands as source for C and N, and with CO as a reductant and as a source for C. Implications for the problem of the origin of life are discussed, (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
