Carbene-catalyzed site-selective sulfonylation and modular edition of monosaccharides for hydroxyl group stereoinversion and swapping [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMonosaccharides are ubiquitous motifs in natural and synthetic molecules, yet methods for their selective structure editing remain limited due to the multiple hydroxy groups for differentiation and their structural complexity.

Impact of artificial sweeteners and rare sugars on the gut microbiome. [PDF]
Food Sci BiotechnolAlternative sugars are often used as sugar substitutes because of their low calories and glycemic index. Recently, consumption of these sweeteners in diet foods and beverages has increased dramatically, raising concerns about their health effects. This review examines the types and characteristics of artificial sweeteners and rare sugars and analyzes ...
