Advances in the chemical synthesis of C-pyranosides/furanosides are summarized, covering
the literature from 2000 to 2016. The majority of the methods take advantage of the …

Carbohydrates, traditionally known for their energy-providing role, have gained significant
attention in drug discovery due to their diverse bioactivities and stereodiversity. However …

A wide range of enones derived from d-glucal, d-galactal, l-rhamnal, d-rhamnal, and l-
arabinal underwent Heck-coupling with various arylboronic acids bearing electron-donating …

A copper-mediated fluorofunctionalization of alkenes and alkynes has been developed. This
method provides ready access to trisubstituted difluoromethylated olefins (from …

A review with 1627 references to transition metal catalyzed or mediated reactions and
functional group preparations.

A simple, highly efficient and regiospecific method for the direct conversion of 3-O-
benzylated as well as silylated glycals into the corresponding enones has been developed …

Organolithium reagents undergo highly regio-and diastereoselective 1, 4-addition to (S, S)-
(+)-pseudoephedrine enamides furnishing the corresponding β-alkyl-substituted adducts in …

A simple, environmentally benign and catalyst‐free method for the synthesis of chirally
enriched imidazo [1, 2‐a] pyrimidinone glycohybrids has been successfully developed. The …

Chiral substituted furans and imidazoles are key intermediates to access biologically
important molecules. We describe herein a catalyst/ligand free cascade Michael-type …

The presence of an unsaturation in a pyranose derivative provides a powerful handle for the
creation of new compounds displaying a variety of molecular skeletons. This contribution …
