The action of heat on Acetylene, Ammonia and Water vapour in presence and absence of metal ferrocyanides at 90±5°C under simulated sea beach conditions has been investigated for the plausible formation of nucleic acid bases. Paper chromatography (PC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis of the reaction concentrate heated up to 200hrs revealed purine and pyrimidine bases viz. cytosine, uracil, adenine, thymine and hypoxanthine were formed and confirmed with the data of authentic samples.
