Recent Advance in the β‐Stereoselective Synthesis of 2‐Deoxy Glycosides

Abstract Compounds containing a 2‐deoxy β ‐glycoside linkage play important roles in carbohydrate chemistry, serving as potential therapies with significant biological properties. From the viewpoint of synthesis, many strategies developed in recent years targeted the stereoselective construction of 2‐deoxy glycosides. This review aims to summarise recent advances in the synthetic routes toward 2‐deoxy β‐ glycosides developed over the last decade. Where associated, practical applications of these strategies in the total synthesis of natural products are highlighted.
