TL;DR: Ru-catalyzed synthesis of α-D-mannopyranosides from glucal is described via one-pot glycosylation–dihydroxylation reaction, amenable to a variety of acceptors to obtain mannosylated peptides and disaccharides.
Abstract: Ru-catalyzed synthesis of α-D-mannopyranosides from glucal is described via one-pot glycosylation–dihydroxylation reaction. This method is amenable to a variety of acceptors, including carbohydrate-derived and amino-acid containing alcohols to obtain mannosylated peptides and disaccharides.

TL;DR: The first regioselective synthesis of β-galactofuranosides by Fischer glycosidation of GalNAc with methanol catalyzed by HY, HZSM-5 and HBEA acid zeolites was reported in this article.
Abstract: We report herein the first regioselective synthesis of β-galactofuranosides by Fischer glycosidation of GalNAc with methanol catalyzed by HY, HZSM-5 and HBEA acid zeolites. The zeolite HY (Si/Al ratio 3.1) was the most efficient catalyst, leading to the highest yield of methyl β-galactofuranoside, isolated as its acetylated or isopropylidene derivatives, indicating that with large pore zeolites, the reaction efficiency depends upon the concentration of the zeolite acid sites and its hydrophilicity. However, the best regioselectivity for β-galactofuranoside versus β-galactopyranoside was obtained with the medium pore zeolite HZSM-5, which also led to the lowest starting material conversion, suggesting that both the zeolite pore size and topology are determinant for the obtained results. Furthermore, these acid zeolites proved to be efficient catalysts to transform 1,5-anhydro-3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-deoxy- d -arabino-hex-1-enitol (6) (3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl- d -glucal) exclusively in the 2,3-unsaturated-O- and -S-α- d -glycosides by Ferrier rearrangement, in moderate yield. For this reaction, the number of acid sites was the key factor for the reaction yield, being HY (Si/Al ratio 3.1) also the most effective zeolite.
