    Hi There, It is known that at first step in reaction mixture forms hydrogen cyanide (HCN), formaldehyde and other active intermediate compounds (acetylene, cyanoacetylene, etc.): CO2 ? CO + [O] (atomic oxygen) CH4 + 2[O] ? CH2O + H2O CO + NH3 ? HCN + H2O CH4 + NH3 ? HCN + 3H2 (BMA process) These compounds then react with the formation of aminoacids (Strecker synthesis) and other biomolecules: CH2O + HCN + NH3 ? NH2-CH2-CN + H2O NH2-CH2-CN + 2H2O ? NH3 + NH2-CH2-COOH (glycine) Hope it helps
