Protecting Groups Strategies and Applications in Carbohydrate Chemistry

?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.?
