Form(am)idable beginning : Mechanistic pathways from formamide to purine and adenine have been proposed (see scheme, purine (R=H, X=H), adenine (R=CN, X=NH 2 , R′=CONH 2 ). Parallels between these plausible prebiotic syntheses and purine‐ring biosynthesis may allude to the origins of the metabolic route.
