Abstract

In April 1999 I joined the Yoshida group as a graduate student. I was deeply impressed that a variety of projects including flow and automated electrochemistry were in progress at the same time. I learned so many things during my master and PhD program in his group. After one year postdoc in Switzerland I came back to his group as an Assistant Professor and started to involve in organic electrochemistry. Electrochemical methods have been powerful tools for making oligosaccharides in efficient and automated manner. Not only linear oligosaccharides but also cyclic oligosaccharides have been synthesized by electrochemical methods. Oxidation potentials have been quite useful parameters to evaluate reactivity of carbohydrate building blocks. I would like to introduce some recent examples of electrochemical synthesis of oligosaccharides. This paper is dedicated to late Professor Jun-ichi Yoshida.
