Abstract
Site-selective photoredox reactions with somophiles readily enable branching of the carbon skeleton of unprotected glucosides, allosides, and xylosides regioselectively at C3. These reactions open the possibility of selective C–C bond formation in monosaccharides without multi-step protection–deprotection strategies.
