A unique overview of the most important protecting group strategies in carbohydrate chemistry

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:

-Features chapters on protecting groups at the primary and secondary positions of carbohydrates
-Describes protecting group strategies towards sialic acid derivatives, glycofuranoses, sulfated glycosaminoglycans, and cyclodextrins
-Provides information on automated glycan assembly
-Includes a chapter on the industrial scale synthesis of heparin analogs

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.

?Protecting Groups: Strategies and Applications in Carbohydrate Chemistry draws together several decades of advances in selectively protecting specific positions of carbohydrates and then takes a fresh look at this area from the perspective of synthetic strategies. (?) Throughout the book, the authors present useful examples of reliable experimental methods for introduction and removal of the most important protecting groups. (?) It is therefore highly suitable for newcomers to the field and for experienced glycochemists or glycobiologists who would like to expand their knowledge of this challenging field. In short, this is a book that should occupy the shelves of every practicing and aspiring carbohydrate chemist.?
