Maity J, Shakya G, Singh S, Ravikumar V, Parmar V, Prasad A
J Org Chem . 2008 Jun; 73(14):5629-32. PMID: 18557651
Candida antarctica lipase-B (CAL-B) immobilized on lewatite selectively acylated the primary hydroxyl group of the furanosyl nucleoside in a mixture of 1-(alpha-D-arabinofuranosyl)thymine and 1-(alpha-D-arabinopyranosyl)thymine. This selective biocatalytic acylation of furanosyl...

Krishna Kumar R, Olsen P, Ravikumar V
Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids . 2007 Mar; 26(2):181-8. PMID: 17365796
Phosphorothioate oligonucleotides could be synthesized using a 0.2 M solution of phenylacetyl disulfide (PADS) in a mixture of pyridine and acetonitrile (1:1, v/v) with > 99.9% step-wise efficiency. Unlike most...

Ross B, Han M, Ravikumar V
Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids . 2006 Aug; 25(7):765-70. PMID: 16898414
An efficient process to synthesize 5'-O-dimethoxytrityl-N4-benzoyl-5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine in high yield and quality is described. Final benzoylation was improved by developing a method to selectively hydrolyze benzoyl ester impurities. This inexpensive approach...
