Abstract

A chemo-enzymatic method for production of β-thymidine, an intermediate in the synthesis of antiretrovirals, is described. Guanosine and thymine were converted by means of enzymatic transglycosylation to yield 5-methyluridine (5-MU), which was reproducibly synthesised at a 10− 20-L scale in 85% yield at a final product concentration of∼ 80 g· L− 1. A downstream processing (DSP) protocol was designed to remove reaction components interfering with ...
