Rv. Nair et Mm. Salunkhe, A versatile and convenient regioselective acylation of 2 '-deoxynucleosides and ribonucleosides by supported lipases of Pseudomonas Cepacia, SYN COMMUN, 30(17), 2000, pp. 3115-3120
Pseudomonas Cepacia lipase supported on ceramic particles (lipase PS-C) and
on diatomite (lipase PS-D)regioselectively acylated 2'-deoxynucleosides an
d ribonucleosides to 3'-O-acetyl-2'-deoxynucleosides and 3'-O-acetyl-ribonu
cleosides with oxime esters in organic solvents at room temperature. This e
nzymatic reaction was significant because the regioselectivity was total; a
s any other regioisomer nor the N-acylated product were observed.
