Abstract: Glycosylation reactions are central to carbohydrate chemistry due to their broad
applications in drug development and biological probes. Despite presenting significant
challenges and often requiring substantial amounts of promoters, these reactions yield value-
added products of immense biological importance. The incorporation of transition metal
catalysis in glycosylation reactions offers advantages, such as mild reaction conditions and
enhanced selectivity. Currently, synthetic chemists are particularly interested in C- and Sglycosides
because their glycosidic linkages exhibit greater metabolic stability compared to
the more vulnerable O-glycosides. This review aims to explore recent advances in the synthesis
of various structurally diverse and biologically relevant C- and S-glycosides, covering
literature from 2019 to 2024
