| We have been interested in transforming common, abundantly available hydrocarbons into diverse range of cyclitols and hexose sugars, through classical synthetic protocols, without recourse to biotransformations. In these endeavors, we have conceptualized several novel polycyclitols and annulated carbohydrates and this presentation would detail their syntheses. Employing the tool of carbocyclic ring annulation, a new family of surface modified carbohydrates and cyclitols with locked, axial rich conformations and bipolarofacial architecture has been created from tetralin and naphthalene. Similarly, cyclooctatetraene (COT) has been elaborated to a new family of homo-carbasugars. Synthesis and supramolecular architecture of these new entities will be discussed. |
