High-resolution FT-IR spectroscopy was used for the analysis of the products of formamide dissociation using a high-energy Asterix laser. In the experiment, the detected products of the formamide LIDB dissociation were hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, hydroxylamine, and methanol. The molecular dynamics of the process was simulated with the use of a chemical model. The chemistry shared by formamide and the products of its dissociation is discussed with the respect to the formation of biomolecules.
