Advances in metal-catalyzed strategies for carbohydrate functionalization

Abstract

Transition metal catalysis provides a versatile and powerful platform for the construction of structurally complex molecules. In recent years, its application has been successfully extended to the functionalization of carbohydrates, significantly expanding the toolbox of catalytic strategies available for sustainable synthesis. This review offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of recent advances in metal-catalyzed carbohydrate transformations, emphasizing key methodological innovations and their relevance to synthetic applications.
