We present herein a selection of ingenious methods that have been developed to convert inexpensive furan, pyrrole and unsaturated hydrocarbons into enantiomerically enriched monosaccharides and analogues of biological interest.
Since the discovery of the 'formose reaction' by Butlerow,[1] total synthesis of carbohydrates has undergone rapid development. The most important methods for the asymmetric synthesis of monosaccharides and analogues of biological importance are presented. Nowadays any natural and non-natural monosaccharide can be prepared pure in both...
The synthesis of 3-substituted l-fuco-azafagomines from d-lyxose is reported. They represent the first example of aza-C-glycosides having a biimino (-NH-NH-) moiety. The key step of the synthesis is the introduction of the hydrazine moiety by reductive hydrazination of a 1-deoxy-ketohexose with tert-butyl carbazate. Their glycosidase inhibitory...
A review dealing with 1,4-iminoalditol (hydroxylated pyrrolidine) derivatives as inhibitors of α-l-fucosidases including the different synthetic approaches for their preparation as well as their inhibitory properties is presented.

A series of new amphiphilic pyrrolidines containing dodecyl and oleyl apolar side chains were prepared and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells in vitro. The new compounds are shown to exhibit anticancer activity at concentrations in the μM range.
