A review of block synthesis of oligosaccharides describes glycosylation approaches and protecting group strategies and contains material of relevance in disaccharide synthesis. 

The stability of thioglycosides in combination with their easy activation makes them highly suitable as donors in most glycosylation strategies and technologies, e.g. in block synthesis as well as in techniques where the donor is manipulated before glycosylation and in solid phase synthesis.
