Nucleosides in flow: A general, scalable method of Brønsted acid-catalyzed nucleoside formation is described. Because of the high reaction temperatures readily available to the flow reaction format, mild Brønsted acids, particularly pyridinium triflates, can be used. A one-flow multistep synthesis of unprotected nucleosides is also reported (see scheme).
