Prebiotic acidic hydrothermal conditions were mimicked, and biological phosphate esters such as glucose-1-phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate, and glucose-di-phosphate were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions, in the presence of a mixture of montmorillonite and kaolinite. Phosphorus was incorporated into the biological world under hydrothermal conditions, leading to the formation of phosphate esters. The synthesis was successfully carried out within a temperature range of 100–160°C. Both isomers of glucose phosphate were obtained, with some detectable amount of glucose-di-phosphate. Selected mixture of montmorillonite and kaolinite was found to be essential for the reaction. No products were detected without this catalyst mixture. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
