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

Abstract

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.
