%0 Journal Article %T An Efficient and Facile Methodology for Bromination of Pyrimidine and Purine Nucleosides with Sodium Monobromoisocyanurate (SMBI) %A Jyotirmoy Maity %A Roger Stromberg %J Molecules %D 2013 %I MDPI AG %R 10.3390/molecules181012740 %X An efficient and facile strategy has been developed for bromination of nucleosides using sodium monobromoisocyanurate (SMBI). Our methodology demonstrates bromination at the C-5 position of pyrimidine nucleosides and the C-8 position of purine nucleosides. Unprotected and also several protected nucleosides were brominated in moderate to high yields following this procedure. %K bromination %K sodium monobromoisocyanurate (SMBI) %K pyridine-based nucleosides %K purine-based nucleosides %K bromonucleosides %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/18/10/12740
