Summary The synthesis of palmitoylglycerols in good yields occurs when a solution of glycerol, ammonium palmitate, cyanamide and imidazole is dried and heated at ambient humidity at temperatures ranging from 60°–100°C for 16 h. Much less product is formed in the absence of either or both cyanamide or imidazole. This work suggests that acylglycerols could have been synthesized on the primitive Earth under plausible prebiotic conditions which were similar but not identical to those which have been shown to condense deoxynucleotides into oligodeoxynucleotides and amino acids into peptides.
