Neodisaccharide diglycosyl compounds: Ethers, thioethers and selenoethers. A survey of their synthesis and biological activity

摘要

This article gives an account of the area of nonglycosidically linked neodisaccharide compounds consisting of two monosaccharides linked by formal condensation without using the anomeric centre, i.e. by ether bonds, and also their thioether and selenoether counterparts. Synthetic methods and biological relevance are covered.
