Abstract

Abstract:

Glycerol phosphates were abiotically synthesized under hydrothermally mimicked conditions with glycerol and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate. Inorganic phosphorus was therefore incorporated into biological molecule, leading to the formation of C—O—P bonds. Some factors affecting the yields of the products were taken into account. The best yield(molar fraction) of C—O—P bonds through single-step hydrothermal synthesis is ca 1.15%.

Key words: Hydrothermal environment, Origin of life, Glycerol phosphate, C—O—P bond
