“…In addition, over the recent years there has been a noticeable shift in focus of the mechanistic glycosylation chemistry field toward studying stereoelectronics and conformation of the starting material and key reaction intermediates. 74,75,77,79,80,82,84,91,100,172,223,277–290 While the stereoelectronic and conformational effects on reactivity have been studied extensively, the impact of these effects on stereoselectivity remains elusive. Although some model studies helped to establish general trends, 75,82,277–280,290,291 practical application of the conformational factors to stereocontrol of glycosylation is still limited.…”
