Abstract
A new synthesis of isolevoglucosenone and its stereoselective functionalization into 3-deoxy-(1-2)-2-S-thiodisaccharides is described. The base-catalyzed conjugate addition of 1-thiosugars to isolevoglucosenone followed by the reduction of the C-4 keto function constitute a new two-step general approach to these classes of biologically important thio-sugars.

Levoglucosenone and Its New Applications: Valorization of Cellulose Residues

TL;DR: The selective pyrolytic conversion of cellulose or cellulose-containing materials produces levoglucosenone, a highly functionalized chiral structure that has been used as a template for the synthesis of key intermediates of biologically active products and for the preparation of chiral auxiliaries, catalysts, and organocatalysts for their application in asymmetric synthesis as mentioned in this paper.
