TL;DR: Four differently substituted trimers of the CPS repeating unit have been synthesised in order to investigate the dependence on oligosaccharide size, acetylation and mode of phosphorylation of glycoconjugate vaccines against Neisseria meningitidis group A.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple and efficient method for the conversion of alcohols and phenols into their corresponding THP and THF ethers at room temperature has been developed using 1 ǫ% aluminium triflate as catalyst.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the literature on the different transformations of the endo glycals into biologically relevant compounds as well as on the use of glycals as chiral building blocks for the synthesis of various natural products such as aspicilin, reblastatin, diospongins, decytospolides, osmundalactones, paclitaxel, isatisine, d-fagomine, and spliceostatin, reported post 2014.

TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient and benign method for the regio-and stereoselective synthesis of halohydrins and β-halo ethers from dihydropyrans, dihydrofurans and anhydro sugars in the presence of a halide salt and hydrogen peroxide is presented with tungstate-exchanged takovite as oxidation catalyst.

TL;DR: This review takes note of the recent revision of plant families that were known to contain HIFs that have now been merged into one big family, Asparagaceae, and contains their structures, biological sources, plant parts they are obtained from, and, if reported, their optical rotations and melting points.
