Book Review of Reactivity Tuning in Oligosaccharide Assembly

摘要

The glycosylation reaction is the most challenging reaction of synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. Since Koenigs-Knorr's early work in 1901, a plethora of glycosylation methods have been discovered, and with these new reactions, it has been established that the choice of glycosyl donor and acceptor as well as the conditions of activation employed were key to obtaining the desired product. In this book, the various concepts that allow a synthetic carbohydrate chemist to make such choices are reviewed.
