- etherification, thiol-ene reaction and in particular olefin cross metathesis. Keywords: amphiphilic glycomimetics; cross metathesis; glycodendrons; multivalent glycoconjugates; multivalent glycosystems; Introduction In addition to nucleic acids and proteins, molecular life is based on a third important class
- expected in case of the glycodendrons 3–9. However, the so-called “thiol-ene” reaction [10] gave reliable results with both bivalent and tetravalent glycodendrons. The radical addition of mercaptododecane to either 3 or 7, employing AIBN as radical starter, led to the amphiphilic thioethers 12 and 13

We have illustrated, that alkylation, thiol-ene reaction and in particular olefin cross metathesis leads to di- and tetravalent glycolipid

- peroxides are based on three key reagents: oxygen, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide. These reagents and their derivatives are used in the main methods for the introduction of the peroxide group, such as the singlet-oxygen ene reaction with alkenes, the [4 + 2]-cycloaddition of singlet oxygen to dienes, the
- peroxide moiety, the Isayama–Mukaiyama peroxysilylation, and reactions involving peroxycarbenium ions.
