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 …

Detailing commonly used methods and procedures, this reference discusses the reactions
and derivative forms of carbohydrates. Preparative Carbohydrate Chemistry covers the …

Derivatives of 7-oxabicyclo [2.2. l] heptanes (7-oxanorbornanes) are found in Nature, some
of these having interesting biological activities. Analogues of these compounds have also …

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 …

A new, practical method for the optical resolution of bicyclic ketones if illusttrated by the
preparation of (+)‐(1R, 4R)‐7‐oxabicyclo [2.2. 1] bept‐5‐en‐2‐one ((+)‐1) and (+)‐(1R, 2S …

Few practitioners in organic chemistry would dispute the important role played by aromatic
heterocycles in many areas of chemistry and biology. A number of essential processes for …

Zinc iodide catalyzed cycloaddition of furau to t-cyanovinyl (TS)-eamphanate or 1-cyanovinyl
(t'R)-camphanate led to optically pure (1R, 2S, 4R)-2-exo-cyano-7-oxabicyclo [2.2. 1] hept-S …
