title: Catalytic C-H bond functionalisation of purine and pyrimidine nucleosides: a synthetic and mechanistic perspective.
abstract: C-H bond functionalisation of heteroarenes, especially nucleosides, has received a lot of attention in the past few years. This review describes the state-of the art in this area with a global aspiration for possibly functionalising purine and pyrimidine moieties in more complex biomolecular systems, such as DNA/RNA in the near future.'
