Vinyl glycosides in oligosaccharide synthesis (part 5)1: A latent- active glycosylation strategy for the preparation of branched trisaccharide libraries

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(98)02177-7

For the first time, an efficient strategy is described for the preparation of orthogonally protected branched and linear saccharide libraries which can be further functionalised. A small number of key building blocks can be converted into a wide range of glycosyl donors and acceptors.
