Carbohydrates are a fundamental unit playing pivotal roles in all the biological processes. It
is thus essential to develop methods for synthesizing, functionalizing, and manipulating …

Methods for site-selective transformations of hydroxyl groups in carbohydrate derivatives are
reviewed. The construction of oligosaccharides of defined connectivity hinges on such …

Catalytic glycosylation has been a central reaction in carbohydrate chemistry since its
introduction by Fischer 125 years ago, but it is only in the past three to four decades that …

Here we report a nonenzymatic glycosylation reaction that builds axial S-glycosidic bonds
under biorelevant conditions. This strategy is enabled by the design and use of allyl glycosyl …

A robust and practical protocol for preparing alkyl aryl ethers has been developed, which
relies on using two types of ligands to promote Cu-catalyzed alkoxylation of (hetero) aryl …

Notwithstanding the common use of boronic acids in catalysis, the design and synthesis of
efficient chiral boronic acids remains a formidable challenge. Herein we disclose a rational …

Herein, we demonstrate the robustness of a synergistic chiral Pd/organoboron system in
tackling a challenging suite of site‐, regio‐, enantio‐and diastereoselectivity issues across a …

We here report glycosyl sulfoxides appended with an aryl iodide moiety as readily available,
air and moisture stable precursors to glycosyl radicals. These glycosyl sulfoxides could be …

We demonstrate that readily available and bench-stable α-oxo-vinylsulfones are competent
electrophiles in Ni-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. The C–sulfone bond …

Site-selective functionalization is a core synthetic strategy that has broad implications in
organic synthesis. Particularly, exploiting chiral catalysis to control site selectivity in complex …
