Prebiotic formation of triazines from urea was studied using density functional theory methods with the aim of understanding some of the neutral precursors that can lead to a mixture of triazines.
All previous investigative work conducted under Contract Nonr 163(01) is summarized in this final report. A small amount of work which was not described in any previous report is also included. This new work includes the isolation and characterization of trimethylene hydrazine, monopropargyl hydrazine and N-methyl-N-propargyl hydrazine. Further efforts to develop syntheses for ethylenehydrazine and N-isocyanides are also described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
