J. Nokami et al., Efficient electrochemical N-glycosylation of silylated pyrimidines with protected arylthioriboses in the presence of a catalytic amount of NBS or Br-2, CHEM LETT, (10), 1999, pp. 1053-1054
Electrolysis of silylated pyrimidines with protected arylthioribose, in the
presence of a catalytic amount of NBS or Br-2 as a mediator in an undivide
d cell, gave the corresponding N-glycosides (nucleosides) in good yield.
