Carbohydrate Chemistry: Proven Synthetic Methods, Volume 6

Volumes in the Proven Synthetic Methods Series address the concerns many chemists have on irreproducibility of synthetic protocols, lack of identification and characterization data for new compounds, and inflated yields reported in chemical communications-trends that have recently become a serious problem.It is unique in that an independent checker has verified the experimental parts involved by repeating the protocols or using the methods.Featuring contributions from world-renowned experts and overseen by a highly respected series editor, this latest volume compiles reliable protocols for the preparation of intermediates for carbohydrate synthesis or other uses in the glycosciences. Key Features:Reliable and tested protocols for preparation of intermediates for carbohydrate synthesisOffers a unique resource in glycosciences, compiling useful information in one referenceThe protocols presented are of wide use to a broad range of readers in the carbohydrate field and the life sciences,
