Title: Monosaccharide sugars
First published: 1998
Description: In a single volume, Monosaccharide Sugars critically summarizes the applied and potentially useful strategies for the synthesis and degradation of monosaccharides by chain elongation, degradation, and epimerization. Representative and well-established experimental procedures are provided to illustrate the potential of the synthetic transformation. When describing the individual methods, unique supplementary collections of the prepared sugar derivatives are shown in tabular form.

This compendium will eliminate tedious literature searches for those engaged in research and teaching on the chemistry and biochemistry of saccharides and other natural products, and also for those working on the medicinal and metabolic investigation of related substances of biological importance.
