A plethora of methods are available to the synthetic organic chemist for the—formation of
glycosidic linkages in oligosaccharides. As a result, a decision as to which method should …

Glycoconjugates are the most functionally and structurally diverse molecules in nature and it
is now well established that protein-and lipid-bound saccharides play essential roles in …

This review of the literature on oligosaccharide synthesis tabulates over 700 glycosidic
linkages that have been chemically synthesized in the “popular literature” in the year 1994 …

In this part other procedures of glycosylation reactions by direct activation are presented. We
will focus on the n-pentenyl glycoside, the O-alkylation and the trichloroacetimidate …

I. INTRODUCTION Recent demonstrations that oligosaccharides play important roles in
diverse biological events have resulted in renewed interest in the synthesis of …

Publisher Summary There have been considerable advances in recent years in the field of
oligosaccharide synthesis, and the preparation of complex structures of many saccharide …

The difficulties in the preparation of complex oligosaccharides, compared to other
biopolymers such as peptides or nucleic acids, are the result of a greater number of …

Oligosaccharide synthesis has gained major attention in the last two decades particularly in
the total synthesis of biologically interesting molecules. Carbohydrates contain many …

Modern Methods in Carbohydrate Synthesis presents in one volume a sequence of chapters
leading from classical methods through to today's newest state-of-the-art technology for …

A short review of the present status of glycosylation reactions is presented. The reactivity of
both proven and newer glycosylation methods are briefly discussed. Emphasis is placed on …
