2 Glycosylation Reactions with Conformationally Armed Glycosyl Donors 

5 Armed-Disanned Concept in the Synthesis of Glycosidic Bond 

The implications of these findings are quite far-reaching. The large boost in reactivity found caused by ring inversion of some saccharides suggests that 

These findings, furthermore, offer a new explanation that does not rely on the questioned stereoelectronic effect as to why enzymes may change the conformation of a monosaccharide s unit or possibly preferentially stabilize the 6-OH in the gg orientation 87 (06-C6-C5-05) to make the substrate more reactive (Fig. 5.26).
