Over the past five years, several metal-catalyzed asymmetric ring-cleaving reactions have
been developed that generate ring-opened products in high yield and enantiomeric excess …

Carbohydrate chemistry constitutes today a “multifaceted” discipline strongly connected with
organic, pharmaceutical, and medicinal chemistry. 1 Carbohydrates are important …

Intrigued as much by its complex nature as by its outsider status in traditional organic
chemistry, the editors of The Organic Chemistry of Sugars compile a groundbreaking …

Humans have utilized carbohydrates in natural forms such as cellulose in cotton, sucrose in
cane sugar, and sucrose, D-fructose, and D-glucose in honey from the dawn of civilization …

This chapter discusses the various methods for the preparation of oxabicyclic compounds,
with an emphasis on the stereo-and enantioselective synthesis of these substances …

In this review we focus on the synthesis of compounds that are the rare antipodes of
common hexoses. Therefore, we only cover L-aldohexoses, 2-keto-L-hexoses, and 6-deoxy …

5-Amino-2-furancarboxylic acid methyl ester undergoes a facile Diels− Alder cycloaddition
with a variety of dienophiles to afford ring-opened cycloadducts that are readily dehydrated …

Several new methods for the synthesis of differently substituted 2-amidofurans are
described. The thermolysis of furan-2-carbonyl azide results in a Curtius rearrangement and …

Nickel-catalyzed ring-opening reactions of 7-heteroatom norbornadienes and norbornenes
with various organic halides to give products with multiple stereocenters are described …

The total syntheses of γ-lycorane and (±)-1-deoxylycorine were accomplished using an
intramolecular Diels− Alder cycloaddition of a furanyl carbamate as the key step. The initially …
