title: A new, general method for the synthesis of carbasugar-sugar pseudodisaccharides.
abstract: A general synthetic methodology for the synthesis of sugar-carbasugar pseudodisaccharides is described. The methodology is based on the cycloaddition of pyran-2-ones to vinylated sugars and the subsequent manipulation of the cycloadducts to construct the carbasugar component of the pseudodisaccharide.
