Abstract
Heptoses are important higher-carbon sugars occurring in numerous structural variations in several domains of the bacterial cell wall, which are briefly summarized. Recent approaches towards the chemical and chemo-enzymatic synthesis of these microbial monosaccharides will be summarized as well as progress made in the elucidation of two major biochemical pathways involving the synthesis of heptose phosphates and nucleotide-activated heptoses.
Keywords: Bacterial Heptoses, Biosynthesis, Synthesis, bacterial cell wall, microbial monosaccharides, Lipopolysaccharides

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
