Diversification of Glycosyl Compounds via Glycosyl Radicals.

Glycosyl radical functionalization is one of the central topics in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. Recent advances in metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling chemistry and metallaphotoredox catalysis provided powerful platforms for glycosyl radical diversification. In particular, the discovery of new glycosyl radical precursors in conjunction with these advanced reaction technologies have significantly expanded the space for glycosyl compound synthesis. In this Review, we highlight the most recent progress in this area starting from 2021, and the reports included will be categorized based on different reaction types for better clarity.
