Prebiotic Sugar Formation Under Nonaqueous Conditions and Mechanochemical Acceleration

Monosaccharides represent one of the major building blocks of life. One of the plausible prebiotic synthesis routes is the formose network, which generates sugars from C1 and C2 carbon sources in basic aqueous solution. We report on the feasibility of the formation of monosaccharides under physical...
