Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Oct 15;18(20):5640-2. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.08.090. Epub 2008 Aug 29.

Abstract

Nucleoside-based antiviral drugs have been synthesized using imidazolium-based ionic liquids as reaction medium. The ionic liquids were proved to be better solvents for all the nucleoside in terms of solubility and reaction medium as compared to conventional molecular solvents.
