Phosphorylation in liquid sulfur dioxide under prebiotically plausible conditions
Organophosphates are essential to facilitate information storage and energy transfer in living organisms, but their prebiotic origins remain unknown. Here, the authors report a liquid sulfur dioxide-mediated phosphorylation of nucleosides from phosphorous acid in a single reaction step at room tempe...
