“…Various potential chiral auxiliaries, used for the synthesis of chiral molecules, have been generated from carbohydrates through judicious manipulation of the sugar backbone. Attempts to elaborate the synthetic utility of the INC methodology on sugar-based substrates have resulted in generating carbocycles, heterocycles, bicycles, spirocycles, cyclic ethers, alkaloids, amino acids, nucleosides, iminosugars, pseudosaccharides, enzyme inhibitors, precursors for prostaglandin and tetrodotoxin, and other related molecular entities. Nevertheless, the chemistry utilizing this method continues unabated in constructing complex ring systems.…”
