Mechanistic and computational studies were conducted to elucidate the mechanism and the
origins of enantiocontrol for asymmetric chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed spiroketalization …

This review focuses on summarising the studies on transition metal catalysed transfer
vinylation of alcohols using vinyl ethers and vinyl acetate as vinylating agents. Mercury …

Herein we report the first fully quantum mechanical study of enantioselectivity for a large
data set. We show that transition state modeling at the UB3LYP-DFT/6-31G* level of theory …

Oxepanes are central motifs and tenants of many biologically important molecules, and their
synthetic construction often presents a challenge to chemists due to consequential entropic …

Seven-membered ring mimetics of mannose were studied as ligands for the mannose-
specific bacterial lectin FimH, which plays an essential role in the first step of urinary tract …

A unified synthetic strategy directed towards mycotoxins belonging to the
thiodiketopiperazine family is reported. The building blocks for a number of natural products …

Glycals and 4-deoxypentenosides (4-DPs), unsaturated pyranosides with similar structures
and reactivity profiles, can exhibit a high degree of stereoselectivity upon epoxidation with …

A ring-expansion methodology for the preparation of aryl septanosides, arabinofuranosyl
and glucopyranosyl septanoside disaccharides, and azido septanosides is reported. A …

Seven-atom ring sugars, called septanoses, are increasingly the focus of scientific inquiries
because of their potential biological activities. This article details the synthesis …

1, 5-d-Mannoseptanosyl di-and trisaccharide ring-size isomers of the corresponding
mannopyranosyl oligosaccharides have been prepared. Remarkably, these compounds …
