Glycoside trimming enzymes are crucially important in a broad range of metabolic pathways,
including glycoprotein and glycolipid processing and carbohydrate digestion in the intestinal …

This is a review of papers published in the year 2004 that focus on the synthesis, reactivity,
or properties of compounds containing a carbon–transition metal double or triple bond.

The synthesis of the first examples of seven-membered ring iminoalditols, molecules
displaying an extra hydroxymethyl substituent on their seven-membered ring compared to …

Eight-and four-membered analogues of N-butyldeoxynojirimycin (NB-DNJ), a reversible
male contraceptive in mice, were prepared and tested. A chiral pool approach was used for …

The dearomative dienamines between a few five‐membered heteroaryl aldehydes and
chiral secondary amine catalysts underwent highly regio‐, chemo‐and stereoselective …

A general synthesis of α-1-C-substituted derivatives of fagomine (2-deoxynojirimycin-α-C-
glycosides) by ring-opening reactions of an aziridine with various heteroatomic …

The Swern oxidation has been widely exploited for the oxidation of alcohols to their
respective carbonyl compounds. The cryogenic operating conditions (<− 60° C) employed …

The scope and limitations of a novel intramolecular azetidine ring-opening/closing cascade
reaction affording spirocyclopropyl γ-lactams from azetidines in high regio-and …

Eight new seven-membered ring iminoalditols, displaying an amino group and a
hydroxymethyl group on the ring, have been synthesized from d-arabinose via epoxidation …

A review with 1663 references to transition-metal catalyzed or mediated reactions and
functional group preparations.
