C-glycosidic aldehydes

Fluorogenic compound (56) for transketolase assays has been prepared making use of FruA specificity [123]. Pendant anionically charged chains have been extended from O- or C-glycosidic aldehydes to furnish low molecular weight mimics of the sialyl Lewis X tetrasaccharide such as (SS) (Figure 10.23) [124], Other higher carbon...
