Very pleased to share this new paper from the group doi.org/10.1002/chem... Kudos to Dylan Yorga ! We developed a conformationally locked iminosugar coined azalevoglucosan, a versatile platform that allows stereo- and regiocontroled access to polysubstituted piperidines and modified iminosugars

<i>N</i>‐Sulfonyl Azalevoglucosan: A Versatile Platform for the Synthesis of Polysubstituted Piperidines

Gain by strain: The synthesis of a levoglucosan analog, in which the pyranose oxygen has been replaced by a nitrogen, allows navigation on the piperidine ring to iteratively install functional groups...

Very glad to share our new paper in @chemicalscience.rsc.org on in cellulo catalysis using our cyclodextrins, in collaboration with @gassergroup.bsky.social and @cariouk.bsky.social team and with Sylvain Roland, Hugo Madec and Yanis Tigherghar pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

@delbiancom.bsky.social received the Feltrinelli #Prize for her research on carbohydrate-based materials. She synthesizes well-defined #carbohydrates using automated methods. With her team, she engineers synthetic sugar chains that adopt shapes from helices to sheets. #chemsky tinyurl.com/f7xjj57d

Let's make fibres! We are looking for PhD candidates to study sugar-based biomimetic self-co-assemblies with DNA!

💡Can #sugars play the role of #proteins?💡 @msollogoub.bsky.social ( @sorbonne-universite.fr ) intrigued us with methods to design #cyclodextrins— ring-shaped sugar molecules (usually found in deodorants!)—as artificial #enzymes. #Biochemistry #Glycoltime #ChemSky

A moving #Glycotime moment at @ipcm-sorbonne.bsky.social and @sorbonne-universite.fr: A wonderful day gathering former members of the Sinaÿ group around our mentor! Beautiful lectures by Antony Fairbanks, Yves Blériot (@azepane.bsky.social), Laurence Mulard, and @borisvauzeilles.bsky.social...

Great to meet old friends during a mini-symposium organized by Matthieu Sollogoub and Antony Fairbanks at Sorbonne University to celebrate Pierre Sinaÿ, one of my mentors.
