Recent applications of the CuI-catalysed Huisgen azide–alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction in carbohydrate chemistry

Abstract
This article surveys recent applications of CuI-catalysed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides and alkynes in carbohydrate chemistry, highlighting developments in the preparation of simple glycoside and oligosaccharide mimetics, glyco-macrocycles, glycopeptides, glyco-clusters and carbohydrate arrays.
