Ab initio simulations and the Miller prebiotic synthesis experiment.
Saitta and Saija (1) claim that ab initio simulations of the 1953 Miller experiment (2) provide new insights into the mechanism of prebiotic synthesis of glycine (Gly) and, by implication, other molecules in this classic experiment. However, decades of research into prebiotic amino acid formation in such experiments conflict with their conclusions. Many aspects of their simulations and conclusi...
متن کاملpKa predictions of some aniline derivatives by ab initio calculations
: In this work, different levels of theory containing HF, B3LYP, and MP2 with different basis sets such as 6-31G, 6-31G*, 6-311G, 6-311+G, 6-31+G*, 6-31+G are used to predict relative acidity constants of some aniline derivatives. Three different kinds of radii containing UAHF, Bondi, and Pauling are used to study how cavity forms change acidity constants. In all cases, DPCM model is used to si...

Cycloaddition reaction between C30 and hula-I, 3-diene was studied within the Snimework of AM I (RHF)level. The reaction involving the double bond between two hexagons and a hexagon and a pentagon, as wellas the cycloaddition products followed by disrotatory ogs s electrocyclic ring openings were considered.Thermodynamics parameters and stability energy and innsation state are evaluated in thre...
متن کاملPREBIOTIC CHEMISTRY Prebiotic Synthesis of Methionine and Other Sulfur-Containing Organic Compounds on the Primitive Earth: A Contemporary Reassessment Based on an Unpublished 1958 Stanley Miller Experiment
Original extracts from an unpublished 1958 experiment conducted by the late Stanley L. Miller were recently found and analyzed using modern state-of-the-art analytical methods. The extracts were produced by the action of an electric discharge on a mixture of methane (CH4), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), and carbon dioxide (CO2). Racemic methionine was formed in significant yields, toget...
متن کاملAb initio Study of Simple Mg-Ene Reactions of Propenyl Magnesium Halides and Ethylene (Type-I Intermolecular Reaction)
The insertion of an olefinic C=C bond into a metal-carbon bond is of potential interest as a preparativeroute to new products and as results of C-C coupling reactions to organic compounds. The allyl compoundsof Mg, react with an olefin by inversion of the allyl group via a six center transition state. These precyclicreactions may be one of the most important classes of organic reactions. The re...
