摘要
(Chemical Equation Presented) Sweetness and life: Pentose aminooxazolines - intermediates in potentially prebiotic nucleoside synthesis - can be produced in water from a reaction that bypasses the corresponding sugar. 2-Aminooxazole, a condensation product of glycolaldehyde and cyanamide, reacts with glyceraldehyde under mild conditions in a remarkable process that is essentially quantitative, and is highly stereoselective for ribose and arabinose aminooxazolines. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
