Advances in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry have dramatically improved access to
common glycans. However, many novel methods still fail to adequately address challenges …

While 1, 2-diacetals have been known in the literature since 1938, 1 their specific
application in organic synthesis has been recognized only recently. It seems remarkable to …

Thioglycosides have been employed extensively for the synthesis of complex
oligosaccharides, carbohydrate libraries, and mimetics of O-glycosides. While very useful …

Carbohydrates carrying an aromatic aglycon are important natural products and thus key
synthetic targets. However, due to the electron-withdrawing properties of aromatic rings …

Carbohydrates constitute the most abundant group of organic compounds found in nature.
Oxygenic photosynthesis, the process energizing carbon dioxide fixation in the biosphere, is …

Glycosyl disulfides have been shown for the first time to be effective glycosyl donors.
Glucosylation and galactosylation of a panel of representative alcohol acceptors allowed the …

The discovery that traditional silver (I)‐oxide‐promoted glycosidations of glycosyl bromides
(Koenigs–Knorr reaction) can be greatly accelerated in the presence of catalytic …

Following the recent discovery that traditional silver (I) oxide‐promoted glycosidations of
glycosyl bromides (Koenigs–Knorr reaction) can be greatly accelerated in the presence of …

Treatment of 'armed'methyl thiogalactosides with iodine in the absence of an acceptor
alcohol results in thioglycoside epimerisation, whereas there is no effect on the …

Reaction of phosphorus pentachloride with 1, 2-trans-glycosyl esters is described. The
reaction mechanism presumably involves formation of a tetrachlorophosphonium ion as one …
