Synthesis of Glycosyl Fluorides by Photochemical Fluorination with Sulfur(VI) Hexafluoride
This study describes a new convenient method for the photocatalytic generation of glycosyl fluorides using sulfur(VI) hexafluoride as an inexpensive and safe fluorinating agent and 4,4′-dimethoxybenzophenone as a readily available organic photocatalyst. This mild method was employed to generate 16 different glycosyl fluorides, including the substrates with acid and base labile functionalities, in yields of 43%-97%, and it was applied in continuous flow to accomplish fluorination on an 7.7 g scale and 93% yield.

A Mechanistic Probe into 1,2-cis Glycoside Formation Catalyzed by Phenanthroline and Further Expansion of Scope
Phenanthroline, a rigid and planar compound with two fused pyridine rings, has been used as a powerful ligand for metals and a binding agent for DNA/RNA. We discovered that phenanthroline could be used as a nucleophilic catalyst to efficiently access high

Ni-Catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling of α-Oxo-vinylsulfones to Prepare C-Aryl Glycals and Acyclic Vinyl Ethers
We demonstrate that readily available and bench-stable α-oxo-vinylsulfones are competent electrophiles in Ni-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. The C-sulfone bond in the α-oxo-vinylsulfone motif is cleaved chemoselectively in these reactions, furnishing C-aryl glycals or acyclic vinyl ethers in high yields. These reactions proceed under mild conditions and tolerate a remarkable scope of heterocycles and functional groups. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed the importance of an α-heteroatom in facilitating these transformations.

Synthesis of C-spiro-glycoconjugates from sugar lactones via zinc mediated Barbier reaction
Anomeric gem-diallylation, mono-β-crotylation and mono-β- propargylation of sugar 1,5 and 1,4 lactones have been achieved under Barbier reaction conditions using Zn powder and a catalytic amount of TMSCl as an activator. Ring closing olefin metathesis of the synthesized gem-diallyl derivatives furnished C-spiro cyclopentene glycosides. Finally, the cyclopentene rings were converted into carbohydrate based tricyclic morpholine fused triazole glycoconjugates as potential SGLT2 inhibitors.
