The synthesis of amino acids behind shock waves in methane, ethane, ammonia, and water vapor was further investigated. Aldehydes and HCN and formed separately in the non-homogeneous gas during the high temperature period and recombine with ammonia during the thermal quench period, to form α-amino nitriles. The α-amino nitriles are either hydrolyzed by excess water vapor during the quench period or emerge as such after the reaction is completed. A combined gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer analysis of the reaction product showed identical amounts of D and L amino acids, thus confirming the absence of contaminants. Thunder shock waves were shown to be a suitable source of energy for the production of amino acids.
