Аннотация
Relaxed requirements: We demonstrate the formation of adenine, hypoxanthine, and guanine from heated (130 °C), UV-irradiated formamide solutions in the absence of an inorganic catalyst. Evidence is also provided that "classical" HCN pathways for purine nucleobase production are also active in heated and UV-irradiated formamide reactions.
