This volume presents the state of the art of complex carbohydrate synthesis, written by leading scientists whose groups are making major contributions in the field.
Various 2,3-epoxypyranosides such as 133 can be converted into furanosides directly by simple heating under reflux in toluene containing lithium bromide and N,N-tetramethylurea [132] (Scheme 21). Usually, the more stable 3-C-formyl ...
The text is accompanied by over 2000 figures, chemical structures and reaction schemes and more than 9000 references. The accompanying CD-ROM enables, besides text searches, searches for structures, schemes, and other information.
Therefore the editors have drawn together in this three volume set the complete and up-to-date information on glycostructures, their chemistry and chemical biology, and present them in the form of a comprehensive and strictly systematic ...
This book will provide numerous but simple overviews of current topics and protocols for the experiments. The book is aimed at university students and above, including non-experts in the field of glycoscience.
Annotation This book presents the state of the art in the synthesis very complex saccharide structures, written by leading scientists at the forefront of this rapidly growing field.
As a reflection of the quantum leap that has been made in the study of glycostructures, the first edition of this book has been completely revised and updated.
