Photocatalysis enables direct coupling of native sugars and N-heteroarenes

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a "capping-and-coupling" strategy to transform naturally occurring (native) sugars directly into compounds known as C-heteroaryl glycosides. This makes it easier to produce such molecules that are valuable for drug and vaccin...
