Background

Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates and cannot be hydrolyzed to smaller carbohydrates. In general, monosaccharides can be classified according to different characteristics, such as the position of the carbonyl group and the number of carbon atoms in monosaccharides. In the last few years, due to the continuing discovery of bioactive compounds containing monosaccharide units as their structural components and increasing application of monosaccharide as chiral starting materials in synthesis, the interest of researchers in monosaccharide synthesis has considerably increased.

The isolation of Monosaccharides from natural sources is difficult. Multistep chemical or enzymatic synthesis is an effective way to synthesize monosaccharides and their derivatives. Synthesis reactions of monosaccharides include Wittig reactions, oxirane ring openings, Diels-Alder types, and organometallic reagents. Several remarkable synthetic achievements have been made in the field of monosaccharide synthesis in the past few years. Natural products can be assembled by monosaccharide and carbocyclic ring systems through different schemes for the radical cyclization strategies. The obtained target molecules were used for cycloadditions reactions to monosaccharide derivatives to construct the carbocyclic ring systems in chiral natural products.
