Emerging Organometallic Methods for the Synthesis of C-Branched (Hetero)aryl, Alkenyl, and Alkyl Glycosides: C-H Functionalization and Dual Photoredox Approaches.

Abstract

Transition-metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization and photoredox nickel dual catalysis have emerged as innovative and powerful avenues for the synthesis of C-branched glycosides. These two concepts have been recently established and provide efficient and mild methods for accessing a series of valuable complex C-branched glycosides of great interest. Herein, recent developments in the synthesis of C-branched aryl/alkenyl/alkyl glycosides through these two approaches are highlighted.
