Selective Methods for C-X Activation in Carbohydrates

Abstract

The development of new catalysts has enabled the selective activation of carbohydrates to access new potential drug precursors, or when more aggressively applied, hydrocarbons. The latter can be used as a high energy fuel. The development of flow approaches has also enabled reactions that were traditionally carried out under batch conditions to now be carried out continuously with concomitant high efficiencies and high material throughput.
