A critical review of the state-of-the-art evidence in support of the mechanisms of
glycosylation reactions is provided. Factors affecting the stability of putative oxocarbenium …

Synthesis of oligosaccharides has, for the past couple of decades, been greatly improved by
new methods and the ongoing development of new technologies, such as automation in …

A set of model nucleophiles of gradually changing nucleophilicity is used to probe the
glycosylation reaction mechanism. Glycosylations of ethanol-based acceptors, bearing …

The stereoselectivity and yield in glycosylation reactions are paramount but unpredictable.
We have developed a database of acceptor nucleophilic constants (Aka) to quantify the …

The broad application of well-defined synthetic oligosaccharides in glycobiology and
glycobiotechnology is largely hampered by the lack of sufficient amounts of synthetic …

An overview of recent advances in glycosylation with particular emphasis on mechanism is
presented. The mounting evidence for both the existence of glycosyl oxocarbenium ions as …

Carbohydrates involving glycoconjugates play a pivotal role in many life processes. Better
understanding toward glycobiological events including the structure–function relationship of …

While the gold (I)‐catalyzed glycosylation reaction with 4, 6‐O‐benzylidene tethered
mannosyl ortho‐alkynylbenzoates as donors falls squarely into the category of the Crich …

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 …

The effect of a 4, 6-O-alkylidene acetal on the rate of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl
galactopyranosides and of spontaneous hydrolysis of 2, 4-dinitrophenyl galactopyranosides …
