• chemoenzymatic method was found to be superior over the chemical method in respect of the number of synthetic steps and overall yield of the final product. Keywords: bicyclic AZT analogues; bridged homoarabinofuranosylpyrimidine nucleosides; chemical pathway; Lipozyme® TL IM; regioselective enzymatic

• , trihydroxy nucleoside 14b was protected with TBDPS to carry out the synthesis of the target nucleoside monomer 9b through a chemical pathway. However, the poor yield of this reaction compelled us to abandon the route as high solubility of the TBDPS-protected dihydroxy nucleoside in aqueous phase withstood

• % yields, respectively (Scheme 5). The overall yields of the synthesis of nucleosides 9a and 9b starting from diacetone ᴅ-glucofuranose following the classical chemical pathway were found to be 24.2 and 24.4%, respectively. The stereochemistry at the C5′ carbon in bicyclic homonucleosides 9a,b was

• groups of the glycoside and the O-acetyl group of the ferulate moiety. The fact that lipase-catalyzed transesterification obviates the need for protection and deprotection is a considerable advantage because the final deprotection in the chemical pathway is complicated by the presence of another ester

With this, the availability of new chemical pathway probes will further enhance understanding of this complex network
