Abstract:
The quest for synthetic tools to achieve molecular complexity is of paramount importance. In recent years, strategies have been developed for the late-stage functionalization of molecules. Anomeric amides have emerged as valuable reagents in this active research area due to their broad range of synthetic applications, and they continue to draw growing interest from the scientific community. This minireview aims to discuss and highlight recent progress in using anomeric amides across a variety of synthetic transformations.

Chemistry of Carbohydrates
Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...

Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...
