title: Greener biocatalytic approach to the synthesis of nucleosides and their precursors.
abstract: Novel, efficient and selective biocatalytic acylation / deacylation strategies have been used for the greener synthesis of precursors of different bicyclonucleosides. Biocatalytic methodology has also been developed for the separation of pyrano- and furanonucleosides, which is otherwise almost impossible to achieve by usual chemical approach.
