Abstract
Mechanochemical activation of iron cyano complexes by ball milling results in the formation of HCN, which can be trapped and incorporated into alpha-aminonitriles. This prebiotic impact scenario can be extended by mechanochemically transforming the resulting alpha-aminonitriles into alpha-amino amides using a chemical route related to early Earth conditions.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
