A novel mechanism enabling selectivepeptide elongation by coupling α-amino acids over other potentially competing prebiotic amines under acidic aqueous condition is suggested. It proceeds via the generation of a carboxylic acid anhydride intermediate with subsequent intramolecular formation of the amide bond.
