TL;DR: Recently developed catalytic radical methods for the functionalization of unsaturated carbohydrates have been discussed in this paper , highlighting the opportunities they offer for new reaction design and highlighting new methodological developments and applications in the field.
Abstract: The functionalization of unsaturated carbohydrates is a powerful approach for the synthesis of a variety of glycoside derivatives, sugar mimics, and enantiomerically pure molecules. This Review will discuss recently developed catalytic radical methods for the functionalization of glycals, exo‐glycals, and exo‐enes, highlighting the opportunities they offer for new reaction design. While providing new routes for the synthesis of complex carbohydrates, catalytic radical transformations of unsaturated sugars overcome the limitations that typically affect classical protocols, such as the use of stoichiometric oxidants/reductants and hazardous and toxic reagents. Currently unaddressed challenges will also be discussed, suggesting new directions for future work and fostering new methodological developments and applications in the field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the substituent at O-6 in hexacarbonyldicobalt alkynyl glycals plays a pivotal role in directing the outcome of the transformations.
Abstract: Abstract Pyranosidic allylic (Ferrier) cations that share dicobalt hexacarbonyl propargyl (Nicholas) stabilization at C-1, can be easily generated by treatment of hexacarbonyldicobalt alkynyl glycals with BF3·OEt2, and display a remarkable reactivity leading to a variety of products. The substituent at O-6 in these glycals plays a pivotal role in directing the outcome of the transformations. Accordingly, 6-O-benzyl or 6-O-allyl groups cause a series of transformations resulting in the stereoselective formation of oxepanes through a process that involves an initial hydride transfer step from the allyl or benzyl substituent to the Ferrier–Nicholas cation. On the contrary, 6-OH derivatives undergo an overall ring contraction to branched tetrahydrofuran derivatives. 6-O-Silyl derivatives, in the presence of heteroaryl nucleophiles, were transformed into C-3 branched bis-C-C-glycosides, containing two of such molecules.

TL;DR: A novel regiospecific copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkynes to azides on solid-phase is reported, and the X-ray structure of 2-azido-2-methylpropanoic acid has been solved, to yield structural information on the 1, 3-dipoles entering the reaction.
Abstract: The cycloaddition of azides to alkynes is one of the most important synthetic routes to 1H-[1,2,3]-triazoles. Here a novel regiospecific copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkynes to azides on solid-phase is reported. Primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl azides, aryl azides, and an azido sugar were used successfully in the copper(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition producing diversely 1,4-substituted [1,2,3]-triazoles in peptide backbones or side chains. The reaction conditions were fully compatible with solid-phase peptide synthesis on polar supports. The copper(I) catalysis is mild and efficient (>95% conversion and purity in most cases) and furthermore, the X-ray structure of 2-azido-2-methylpropanoic acid has been solved, to yield structural information on the 1,3-dipoles entering the reaction. Novel Fmoc-protected amino azides derived from Fmoc-amino alcohols were prepared by the Mitsunobu reaction.

TL;DR: In this article, a reagent formed by combining diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) and triphenylphosphine (TPP) could be utilized in the intermolecular dehydration between an alcohol and various acidic components such as carboxylic acids, phosphoric diesters, imides, and active methylene compounds.
Abstract: The reagent formed by combining diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) and triphenylphosphine (TPP) could be utilized in the intermolecular dehydration between an alcohol and various acidic components such as carboxylic acids, phosphoric diesters, imides, and active methylene compounds. By the use of DEAD and TPP, diols and hydroxy acids gave cyclic ethers and lactones, respectively. The reaction of nucleosides with DEAD and TPP afforded triphenylphosphoranylnucleosides. Alcohols reacted with 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-nitrophenol in the presence of DEAD and TPP to give aci-nitroesters which converted into the corresponding carbonyl compounds.

Abstract: Betrachtet man die in der Natur am haufigsten vorkommenden Verbindungen, so fallt auf, dass die Bildung von Kohlenstoff-Heteroatom-Bindungen gegenuber der von Kohlenstoff-Kohlenstoff-Bindungen deutlich bevorzugt ist Da zum einen Kohlendioxid die Basisverbindung der Natur ist und andererseits das Medium naturlicher Reaktionen zumeist Wasser ist, uberrascht dies sicherlich nicht Nucleinsauren, Proteine und Polysaccharide sind polymere Kondensationsprodukte kleiner Untereinheiten, die durch Kohlenstoff-Heteroatom-Bindungen verknupft sind Sogar die etwa 35 Baueinheiten, aus denen diese essentiellen Verbindungen bestehen, enthalten nicht mehr als sechs aufeinander folgende C-C-Bindungen, sieht man einmal von den drei aromatischen Aminosauren ab Mit der Natur als Vorbild richteten wir unser Interesse auf die Entwicklung leistungsfahiger, gut funktionierender und selektiver Reaktionen fur die effiziente Synthese neuartiger nutzlicher Verbindungen sowie kombinatorischer Bibliotheken mittels Heteroatomverknupfungen (C-X-C) Diese Synthesestrategie nennen wir „Click-Chemie“ Click-Chemie ist durch eine Auswahl einiger weniger nahezu idealer Reaktionen charakterisiert, mit all ihren Grenzen und Moglichkeiten In diesem Beitrag werden zum einen die strengen Kriterien, die Reaktionen erfullen mussen, um die Bezeichnung „Click-Chemie“ zu verdienen, definiert, zum anderen werden Beispiele fur molekulare Strukturen gegeben, die mit dieser spartanischen, aber dennoch leistungsfahigen Synthesestrategie leicht hergestellt werden konnen
