Organocatalysis is a very useful tool for the asymmetric synthesis of biologically or
pharmacologically active compounds because it avoids the use of noxious metals, which are …

Plesiomonas shigelloides, a pathogen responsible for frequent outbreaks of severe
travelers' diarrhea, causes grave extraintestinal infections. Sepsis and meningitis due to P …

Various substituted D-hexopypyranosides units with nitrogen-containing functionalities are
present in many important natural compounds and pharmaceutical substances. Since their …

Five novel metabolites, acremines H–N, have been isolated from malt extract–peptone–
glucose agar cultures of a strain of Acremonium byssoides. Their structures and …

New d-arabino-hexopyranosid-3-uloses were synthesized by a simple method from
mannopyranoside derivatives. The common skeleton possesses a tunable alkoxy group as …

A range of new, somewhat complex, stereochemically varied, and structurally related
carbohydrate-derived ketones were synthesised by a simple method from the carbohydrate …

The synthesis of a wide range of alkenyl 4, 6-O-(S)-benzylidene-β-d-galactopyranosides is
described. The cyclopropanation and epoxidation reactions of these compounds were …
