Written by a team of world-class 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. A unique overview of the most important protecting group strategies in carbohydrate chemistryProtecting 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. 1) Protecting Groups at the Primary Position of Carbohydrates 2) Protecting Groups at the Secondary Position of Carbohydrates 3) Protecting Groups at the Anomeric Position of Carbohydrates 4) Strategies Towards Protection of 1,2- and 1,3-Diols 5) Protection of the Amine Functionality in Amino-Glycosides 6) Protecting Group Strategies for Glycuronic Acids 7) Protecting Group Strategies for Sialic Acid Derivatives 8) Protecting Group Strategies for Cyclodextrins 9) Protecting Group Strategies towards Glycofuranoses 10) Protecting Group Strategies towards Sulfated Glycosaminoclycans 11) A Case Study of Protecting Groups for the Synthesis of a Vaccine Antigen 12) Application of Ionic Liquid and Fluorous Tags for Oligosaccharide Synthesis 13) Acyl Migrations in Carbohydrate Chemistry 14) Orthogonally Protected Monosaccharides and Industrial Applications in Solid Phase Synthesis 15) Industrial Scale Synthesis of Oligosaccharides through Modern Protecting Group Chemistry
