Recent advances on synthesis of C-glycosides

In recent years, C-glycosides have emerged as significant building blocks for many naturally occurring alkaloids and pharmaceutically active drug molecules. Therefore, significant efforts have been devoted to the construction of structurally important C-glycosidic linkages in carbohydrate compounds. Herein, we have summarized the recent developments of diverse synthesis of C-glycoside core between the time period from 2019 to 2022 focusing on different catalytic strategies, such as (i) transition-metal, and (ii) metal-free catalytic approaches. Further, the transition metal catalyzed C-glycosylations have been categorized into four sub classes: (a) metal based C-H activation, (b) cross-coupling reaction, (c) glycosyl radical intermediate-based process, and (d) Others.
