This second volume in a series offers a collection of synthetic procedures valuable to the practice of synthetic carbohydrate chemistry, both for specific synthetic transformations and the preparation of common synthetic intermediates. Each chapter presents in-depth experimental descriptions for the reported procedures, including reaction setup, reaction conditions, work-up procedures, and purification protocols. All described procedures have been independently verified as reliable and reproducible. With editors and contributors who are highly respected scientists in the field, this book provides a widely useful reference for both researchers and students.
