Recent progress on the synthesis of 2-deoxy glycosides

2-Deoxy glycosides are widely presented in natural products and clinical reagents. The presence of 2-deoxy glycosides is essential for bioactivities of these compounds. This report provides an overview of the recent advances in the stereoselective synthesis of 2-deoxy glycosides. Particularly, the contents of this review covered the work published since the earlier reviews on this topic by Marzabadi (2000), Lowary (2009), Ding (2012) and Nagorny (2012).
