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 …

Carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions constitute the central theme
of organic synthesis, and progress in modern synthesis is dependent on development of …

Cerium belongs to the family of the lanthanides, which constitute (together with scandium
and yttrium) the so-called rare earth elements. Cerium is the most abundant of these …

Glycosides of 2-deoxy-sugars, monosaccharides in which the hydroxyl group at C-2 is
replaced with a hydrogen atom, occur widely in natural products and therefore have been …

An expedient one-step synthesis of 2-iodoglycals and 2-bromoglycals from glycals using
NIS/AgNO3 and NBS/AgNO3 as reagent systems has been developed. The utility of these 2 …

Abstract Glycals (1, 2‐unsaturated, cyclic carbohydrate derivatives) readily undergo
(catalyzed) substitution reactions at C‐1 accompanied by allylic rearrangement. This …

d-Glycals react smoothly with a variety of alcohols in a highly stereoselective manner in the
presence of the CeCl3· 7H2O–NaI reagent system in refluxing acetonitrile under neutral …

The synthesis of hybrid molecules, which are made up of two different molecular units, has
recently gained importance because many of them exhibit promising physical, chemical, and …

The emergence of CAN as a versatile one-electron oxidant is attested by the wide range of
reactions that can be executed by this reagent. The literature on CAN chemistry is updated …

A new reagent system comprising acetyl chloride, silver nitrate, and acetonitrile has been
developed for the synthesis of 2-nitroglycals from the corresponding glycals. Under certain …
