Abstract
Carbapyranoses, i.e., pyranose derivatives whose ring oxygen has been replaced by a methylene group, are currently recognized as valuable carbohydrate mimetics. A plethora of methods are available for their preparation, and among them the radical cyclization of suitably functionalized carbohydrate derivatives has already positioned itself as a reliable synthetic method. The present review aims to give an overview of the different synthetic strategies based on radical cyclization that have been employed in their preparation. Recent contributions from our research group are included, which will serve to delineate the scope and limitations of these methods.
Keywords: 6-endo-trig, 6-exo-dig, 6-exo-trig, carbapyranoses, carbasugars, radical cyclization.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
