Carbohydrate Chemistry

Useful in the glycosciences, this book presents reliable protocols for the preparation of synthetic carbohydrates. Featuring worldwide contributors and a well-known series editor, the text presents new or older, not easy to find protocols generally useful to those interested in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. Having an independent checker verify the experimental portion of the text to ensure reproducibility, the Proven Synthetic Method Series brings state-of-the-art of synthetic carbohydrate chemistry at par with general organic synthesis. Methods presented include more detailed versions of protocols that have been previously published and some new methods for the synthesis of a variety of carbohydrate derivatives.
