Recent Advances in the Synthesis of Natural 2-Deoxy-β-glycosides

This report provides an overview of the recent synthetic efforts directed toward the assembly of complex 2-deoxy-β-glycoside-containing natural products landomycin A, apoptolidin A, digitoxin, lomaiviticin A, incednine, and versipelostatin. In particular, the intention of this review is to cover the work published since the earlier reports on this topic by Lowary and Hou (2009) and Franck and Marzabadi (2000).
