Protecting Groups: Strategies and Applications in Carbohydrate Chemistry

A unique overview of the most important protecting group strategies in carbohydrate chemistry <br> <br> Protecting Groups: Strategies and Applications in Carbohydrate Chemistry provides a detailed account of key strategies and methodologies for the protection of carbohydrates. Divided into two parts, the first focuses on groups that are used best to protect a specific position on a carbohydrate. In the second part, specific carbohydrate residues or compounds are discussed in the context of a specific protecting group strategy used to reach the desired regioisomer. This important book: <br> <br> -Features chapters on protecting groups at the primary and secondary positions of carbohydrates <br> -Describes protecting group strategies towards sialic acid derivatives, glycofuranoses, sulfated glycosaminoglycans, and cyclodextrins <br> -Provides information on automated glycan assembly <br> -Includes a chapter on the industrial scale synthesis of heparin analogs <br> <br> Written by a team of leaders in the field, Protecting Groups: Strategies and Applications in Carbohydrate Chemistry is an indispensable guide for academics and industrial researchers interested in carbohydrate and natural product synthesis, pharmaceutical chemistry, and biochemistry. <br>
