Two new dialkoxycarbonylated nucleosides obtained through a regioselective enzymatic alcoholysis
Two new compounds, 2',3'-di-O-ethoxy-carbonyluridine and 2',3'-di-O-ethoxycarbonylinosine, were obtained through a Candida antarctica lipase B catalysed regioselective ethanolysis of the corresponding trialcoxycarbonylated nucleosides with benzyl alcohol in 1,4-dioxane at 30 degrees C.
