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

Deoxy-sugars often play a critical role in modulating the potency of many bioactive natural
products. Accordingly, there has been sustained interest in methods for their synthesis over …

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 …

Diphenylborinic acid serves as a cocatalyst for site-and stereoselective C–H alkylation
reactions of carbohydrates under photoredox conditions using quinuclidine as the hydrogen …
