Abstract

The synthesis of nucleosides has continuously been a topical subject in efforts to develop new therapeutic agents (eg, antitumor and antiviral drugs),[1] to manipulate genetic processes (eg, antisense oligonucleotides and RNA interference),[2] and to expand the genetic code and understand the scope and limits of Watson–Crick base pairing.[3] However, the key technique for such syntheses, namely, the N-glycosidic coupling of ...
