Emerging aspects of domino reactions in carbohydrate Chemistry

Domino reactions enable the highly efficient synthesis of complex organic compounds. The method has a notable feature as the processes avoid the isolation of intermediates involved in the synthetic steps. This chapter summarizes the utility of domino synthesis in carbohydrate chemistry and also briefly highlights the involvement of chiral sugar and their in a number of important transformations including chiral catalysis, ring fusion, ring fragmentation, various other conversions, and also the total synthesis of biologically active natural products and their potential skeletons.
