Mitsunobu reaction of partially acylated uridine proceeds with high regioselectivity for intramolecular SN2 anhydro linkage closuring. Under the reaction conditions, an isomeric mixture of diacyl uridine derivatives with either free 2'- or 3'-hydroxyl group was transformed into a single cyclonucleosidic product, 2,2'-anhydro-3',5'-di-O-acyluridine. This paper presents a possible mechanism of the reactions, the explanation of observed phenomenon based on semiempirical and density functional theory (DFT) calculations and possible utility of this synthetic pathway.

The rapidly growing glycoscience has boosted the research on the synthesis of glycans and their conjugates, which are centered on the stereoselective formation of glycosidic bonds. Compared to the mainstream acid-promoted glycosylation method that undergoes the S1 type mechanism, the basic/neutral conditions give better stereo control via the S2 mechanism. Anomeric hydroxyl group transformation, whether to form glycosidic bonds directly or to install a leaving group for later glycosylation, is key to carbohydrate synthesis, and the strategies in the stereo control of these reactions under basic/neutral conditions are summarized in this review.

A new process route suitable for the industrial production of BAY2433334 has been developed in this paper, which avoids the patent limitations of the originator company of BAY2433334 to the preparation of BAY2433334. BAY2433334 is obtained from (2)-2-aminobutyric acid by esterification, diazotization, condensation reactions, deacetyl deprotection, activation reactions, and Mitsunobu reactions. This method is simple to operate, and the raw materials are inexpensive and readily available.

Synthetic C-glycosides play a crucial role in molecular biology and medicine. With the surge of interest in C-glycosides and the demand to provide efforts with sufficient feedstock, it is highly significant to pursue novel methodologies to access C-glycosides in a concise and efficient manner. Here, we disclose an attractive strategy that diverges itself from conventional multistep reaction sequences involving the manipulations of protecting groups.
