Metal-free synthesis of imino-disaccharides and calix-iminosugars by photoinduced radical thiol-ene coupling (TEC).

Published in: Organic & biomolecular chemistry (2020)

Radical thiol-ene coupling was exploited for the first time to prepare imino-disaccharides and multivalent iminosugars starting from sugar thiols and iminosugar alkenes or iminosugar thiols and tetra-allylated calixarene, respectively.
