The stereoselective synthesis of α-and β-C-glycosides is one of the most challenging areas
of research in the field of glycoside chemistry. In this review, we summarize the various …

Minimal structural differences in the structure of glycosyl donors can have a tremendous
impact on their reactivity and the stereochemical outcome of their glycosylation reactions …

A single acyloxy group at C‐2 can control the outcome of nucleophilic substitution reactions
of pyran‐derived acetals, but the extent of the neighboring‐group participation depends on a …

Acetal substitution reactions can proceed by a number of mechanisms, but oxocarbenium
ion intermediates are involved in many of these reactions. Our research has focused on …

Oxocarbenium ions are key reactive intermediates in organic chemistry. To generate a
series of structure‐reactivity‐stereoselectivity principles for these species, we herein …

Fluorinated carbohydrate mimetics are valuable molecular fragments in contemporary
Glycoscience. Available synthetic protocols are mainly restricted to the preparation of …

Nucleophilic substitution reactions of C-2-acyloxy furanosyl acetals can be highly
diastereoselective. We here show that the presence of a less electron-donating p …

The outcome of glycosylation reactions heavily relies on the specific protecting group
patterns employed on both the donor and acceptor molecules. The picoloyl (Pico) protecting …

BF 3• OEt 2, as a typical Lewis acid catalyst with excellent catalytic capacity, plays an
important role in many reactions, such as coupling, cyclization and rearrangement, and it is …

Minimal structural differences in the structure of glycosyl donors can have a tremendous
impact on their reactivity and the stereochemical outcome of their glycosylation reactions. It …
