Formation of Carbonisocyanatidic Amide in Interstellar Ice Analogs as a Candidate Precursor to Prebiotic Pyrimidines

Abstract Understanding how pyrimidine nucleobases form in space is central to prebiotic chemistry, yet the pathways assembling these heterocycles remain unresolved. Carbonisocyanatidic amide (H2NC(O)NCO), an acyclic intermediate with heteroatom connectivity relevant to uracil and...
