Recent synthetic studies in nitrogen-containing and deoxygenated sugars
Selected methodological aspects of synthesis and structural modification of monosaccharides, aminocyclitols, and trehalose-type di- saccharides are presented. The survey is divided into sections concerning the use of palladim+rediated synthetic reactions,the application of iron- carbonyl reagents, deoxygenation and other reductive processes with boron- containing reagentsr amination of unsaturated carbohydratesr the use of carbohydrate trifluormthanesulfonates, and new chemistry of nitro sugars.
