Scientific paper

Results of the oxidation of the organic polymer of the Murchison meteorite with alkaline cupric oxide, a mild-oxidant specific for cleaving ether linkages, are reported. Qualitative analyses by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, solid-probe mass spectrometry and high-resolution mass spectrometry reveal the presence of large amounts of meta-hydroxybenzoic acid and 3-hydroxy-1,5-benzenedicarboxylic acid, along with seven phenolic acids, in the oxidized solution, indicating the presence of phenolic ethers and of aryl alkyl ethers having no nuclear hydroxy group in the meteorite. The formation of phenolic ethers in the solar nebula by Fischer-Tropsch type reactions is then discussed.
