then show that 2-aminothiazole can take part in a 3-component carbon–carbon bond-forming reaction in water that leads to the diastereoselective synthesis of masked 2′-thiosugars regiospecifically tethered to purine precursors, which would lead to 2′-deoxynucleotides upon desulfurization. The possibility of an abiotic route to the 2′-deoxynucleotides provides a new perspective on the evolutionary origins
