The Chemistry of C-Glycosides : Volume 13 Paperback / softback
Edited by D.E. (Glycomed Inc., California, USA) Levy, C. (Professor, Department of Food Science and Technology, South China University of Technology Tang
Part of the Tetrahedron Organic Chemistry series
Paperback / softback
Description
In recent years C-glycoside chemistry has been one of the main topics in carbohydrate chemistry, not only because of the synthetic challenges posed, but also because C-glycosides have the potential to serve as carbohydrate analogues resistant to metabolic processes.
Consequently, this class of compounds is currently receiving much interest as a potential source of therapeutic agents for clinical use.
This book provides a broad coverage of the various synthetic methods available for the preparation of C-glycosides, and illustrates the interesting breadth of connections between carbohydrate chemistry and modern general synthetic organic chemistry by including topics such as transition-metal catalysis, radical chemistry, cycloaddition and rearrangement processes.
In addition, in the final chapter of the book, the syntheses of C-di and trisaccharides reported through 1994 are reviewed.
This well organised account of the synthetic chemistry in this field will prove to be very valuable to a wide range of researchers and advanced students, both as an introduction to the topic and for reference.
