Abstract $ H_{2} $S has been often invoked as the initial source of sulfur in prebiotic evolution, and several sulfur-containing compounds has been proposed as intermediates in the primordial synthesis of biologically relevant sulfur-containing chemicals. The possibilities of synthesis of the principal key intermediates by glow discharges in $ CH_{4} $−$ N_{2} $−$ H_{2} $S mixtures is studied. It is shown that synthesis of important intermediates such as HCN, (CN)2, CHCCN and $ CH_{3} $SH is possible from such mixtures if the amount of $ H_{2} $S is not more than 10%. For higher amounts of $ H_{2} $S, the syntheses are strongly inhibited.
