Developing a bench-stable glycosyl donor of multifunctional sugar residues that can be activated under mild conditions is a challenge in carbohydrate chemistry. Now, stable glycosyl sulfones are used in a photoinduced method for desulfonylative cross-coupling to prepare a range of C- and S-glycosides.
