“…Additionally, a Mg 2+ catalyzed mechanistic pathway for the formation of 2‐pyrimidinone based nucleoside has been explored by Sheng et al However, the high influx of ultraviolet (UV) radiations on primitive earth, coupled with the relevance of radicals to spark discharge experiments, laser‐driven plasma impact simulations, and the presence of cosmic, γ, and UV radiations on the present‐day Titan's atmosphere, suggest that reactions for the formation of nucleobases are likely to follow radical based mechanisms. On these lines, Jeilani et al suggested a free radical route for the formation of triazines and pyrimidines from urea in a water‐ice mixture, and further formulated free radical based mechanisms for the formation of these pyrimidines from 1,2‐diaminomaleonitrile and formamide, acetylene and urea, as well as formamide and HCN or acetylene . Similarly, Ferus et al theoretically explored a radical induced, formamide based synthesis of nucleobases in a high energy impact scenario …”
