OH (2:1 v/v), and sulfu-ric acid. In the case of chondrites, achondrites, and stony-iron meteorites, the samples were also pyrolyzed at 6008C.After the treatment, the powders did not release any traceof organic substances. The synthesis of large number of com-pounds was observed (Scheme 1): nucleobases and their an-alogues, carboxylic acids, amino acids, and low-molecular-weight derivatives (miscellanea). We dub these reactionsmeteorite-catalyzed syntheses. Given the complexity of themixtures, analysis was limited to products 1ngmL
