42. Though it is possible that the reaction of formaldehyde and 5 is reversible, 41 was not observed to undergo retro-aldol decomposition during synthesis from glyceraldehyde and 4 or upon heating in aqueous solution. Furthermore, it should be noted that neither intramolecular cyclization nor aromatization is required for product trapping to prevent retro-aldol reaction. The reversible interchange of pentose aminooxazolines and their respective oxazoles with open-chain hydrates has been observed in the absence of retro-aldol reaction (see ref 11b). The reaction of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde and 2-amino-4-methyloxazole has been reported (albeit in hot toluene) wherein, due to the lack of a suitably positioned nucleophilic moiety, cyclization to an aminooxazoline cannot occur (ref 19a). Finally, in aqueous solution, the reaction of glyceraldehyde-2-phosphate and 5 furnishes a diastereomeric mixture of open-chain hydrates. Despite the potential for 6- exo-trig hydroxyl cyclization to afford pyranosyl-aminooxazoline products, heating these hydrate species leads to aromatization not cyclization or retro-aldol decomposition.

71. Alternatively, the pH-dependent profiles of the multicomponent reaction described provide a route to 36 - 39 in the presence of 2 and 3. Therefore, subsequent incorporation of the purine fragment with 36, 38, or 39 (or derivatives thereof) still remains a plausible route to purine molecules under prebiotic constraints for their concurrent synthesis with pyrimidine nucleotides accessed via 37.
