Protecting Groups: Strategies and Applications in Carbohydrate Chemistry

Written by a team of worldΓÇôclass leaders from academia and industry, this is a unique overview of the most important protecting group strategies in modern carbohydrate chemistry.
Clearly divided into two parts, the first focuses on those groups best used to protect a specific position on a carbohydrate. The second part then discusses specific carbohydrate residues or compounds in the context of a protecting group strategy used to reach the desired regioisomer. The whole is rounded off by chapters on case studies and industrial scale synthesis of oligosaccharides through modern protecting group chemistry.
By providing strategies and synthetic applications, this is an indispensable guide for both beginners and specialists working in carbohydrate synthesis, natural product chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, and biochemistry.
