AbstractOne of the fundamental astrobiology questions is how life has formed in our Solar System. In this context the formation and stability of abiotic organicmolecules such as CH4, formic acid and amino acids, is important for understanding how organicmaterial has formed and survived shocks and energetic particle impact from winds in the early Solar System. Shock waves have been suggested as a plausible scenario to create chondrules, small meteoritic components that have been completely molten by energetic events such as shocks and high velocity particle impacts. We study here the formation and destruction of certain gas-phasemolecules such as methane and water during such shock events and compare the chemical timescales with the timescales for shocks arising from gravitational instabilities in a protosolar nebula.
