Metathetical processes play a prominent role in the development of useful transformations because of their mildness, tolerance of functional groups, and synthetic potential. On the other hand, carbohydrates have gained well‐deserved relevance in the study of biological processes. This review summarizes a decade of efforts in the application of cross metathesis (CM) reactions to the preparation of some relevant glycoconjugates.
