The Radiolysis of Aqueous Acetonitrile: Compounds of Interest to Chemical Evolution Studies
Authors: I.G. Draganić, S. Jovanić, V. Niketić, Z.D. Draganić, Oxygen-free aqueous solutions of CH3CN (0.1 M, pH 6) were ex- posed to gamma rays from a 60Co source,the mixture of non volatile radiolytic products was fractionated and the fractions were analysed. Succinic,maleic, fumaric, malonic andpyruvic acids were identified. Glycol aldehyde,glucose and probably ribose were observed in the hydrolysate of fractionated…
Cyanoacetylene in Prebiotic Synthesis
Authors: R. A. Sanchez, J. P. Ferris, L. E. Orgel Cyanoacetylene is a major nitrogen-containing product of the action of an electric discharge on a mixture of methane and nitrogen. It reacts with simple inorganic substances in aqueous solution to give products including aspartic acid, asparagine, and cytosine. 10.1126/science.154.3750.784
