Merged summary

TL;DR - Researchers developed a platform for synthesizing C-glycosides from sugars using glycosyl sulfonyl hydrazides as accessible free-radical precursors. It enables targeted, stereospecific carbon–carbon bond formation across carbohydrate scaffolds.

  • Uses readily accessible glycosyl sulfonyl hydrazides to generate free radicals.
  • Forms robust carbon–carbon linkages in C-glycoside molecules.
  • Controls the desired 3D arrangement of atoms during synthesis.
  • Offers a general strategy for constructing valuable carbohydrate-derived compounds.
