Chemical C -glycosylation has been well developed to improve stereoselectivity in recent years. Due to its high efficiency to build C -glycosides or O -cyclic compounds, C -glycosylation has found widespread use in the synthesis of biologically active molecules. This review highlights the C -glycosylation methods that have been practised in the total synthesis of natural products and pharmaceuticals in the past decade. C -Glycosylation has found widespread use in the synthesis of biomedically important natural products and pharmaceuticals.
