mediated by evolving RNA. A novel potentiallyprebioticsynthesis of RNA is proposed involving polymerisation through aldol condensation followed by a retro-Amadori rearrangement and ring closure via a base-paired mesomeric heterocyclic betaine intermediate. The proposed monomer 1 is an achiral mixed phosphodiester and herein we report synthetic routes to 1 containing each of the four RNA bases. The solution

The syntheses of the potentially prebiotic compounds, bis(glycoaldehyde) phosphodiester 1, dihydroxyacetonephosphoglycoaldehyde 2 and glyceraldehyde-2-phosphoglycoaldehyde 3 have been achieved.
