Some recent trends and progress in nucleoside synthesis.
Abstract
Some recent progress concerning the optimal combinations of Lewis acids and solvents for the synthesis of pyrimidine as well as purine nucleosides is reviewed. Furthermore, the novel condensation of persilylated free sugars and heterocyclic bases in the presence of trimethylsilyl triflate to the corresponding persilylated nucleosides is discussed.Acta Biochimica Polonica is an OpenAccess quarterly and publishes four issues a year.
