Abstract
Pentose aminooxazolines and oxazolidinone thiones are considered as the key precursors which could have enabled the formation of RNA nucleotides under the conditions of early Earth. UV-irradiation experiments and quantum-chemical calculations demonstrate that these compounds are remarkably photostable and could accumulate over long periods of time in UV-rich prebiotic environments to undergo stereoisomeric purification.
