Conspectus Molecules containing carbohydrate moieties play essential roles in fighting a
variety of bacterial and viral infections. Consequently, the design of new carbohydrate …

Nucleoside derivatives are a class of compounds that have attracted intense interest in
biotechnology and medicine. Use of biocatalysts opens exciting opportunities for selective …

We demonstrate copper (II)‐catalyzed acylation and tosylation of monosaccharides. Various
carbohydrate derivatives, including glucopyranosides and ribofuranosides, are obtained in …

A catalytic process for the chemo-and regioselective functionalization of nonprotected
carbohydrates has been developed. This novel process allows selective thiocarbonylation …

Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL‐B) catalyzes the regioselective acylation of natural
thymidine with oxime esters and also the regioselective acylation of an analogue, 3′, 5 …

Kinetic resolution of 4-alkyl-2-aryl-5-oxo-4, 5-dihydrooxazole-4-carboxylic acid esters
(azlactones 1) were achieved by copper-DTBM-SEGPHOS catalyzed alcoholysis reaction …

Lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia (PCL) surprisingly favors acylation of the secondary
hydroxyl at the 3′‐position over the primary hydroxyl at the 5′‐position in 2 …

An efficient and high yield protocol for the synthesis and separation of 3 '-and/or 5 '-protected
α-2 '-deoxynucleosides has been developed through regioselective acylation/deacylation …

Regioselective syntheses of several O-crotonyl 2′-deoxynucleoside derivatives have been
efficiently achieved using a biocatalytic methodology. While Candida antarctica lipase B …

Candida antarctica lipase-B (CAL-B) immobilized on lewatite selectively acylated the
primary hydroxyl group of the furanosyl nucleoside in a mixture of 1-(α-d-arabinofuranosyl) …
