title: The effect of microwave irradiation on Mo(VI) catalyzed transformations of reducing saccharides.
abstract: Efficient microwave-assisted Mo(VI)-catalyzed transformations of the 10 most common aldoses are described. Both pentoses and hexoses were converted to the corresponding epimers in considerably shorter reaction times. The yields were comparable, or better compared to conventional synthetic methods.
