A nonequilibrium calculation for the chemistry in a classical protoplanetary accretion disk is presented. Slow radial particle transport moves grains from the cold outer regions of a protoplanetary accretion disk into its warm central part where grains are destroyed. We consider the destruction processes for the silicate and carbon dust component and follow the chemical composition of the gas as a function of the radial distance from the protostar. The main result of this calculation is the presence of huge amounts of methane at a distance of ~ 1 AU from the protostar as product of the carbon dust destruction. It is very likely that more complex organics also are present' in this region.
