Oligosaccharide using insoluble resins

Considerable effort has been made in recent years to improve the yields of oligosaccharide synthesis. The selection of the appropriate functional resin is, in many cases, crucial to the outcome of oligosaccharide syntheses. Here, we briefly review the functional resins that have been used for oligosaccharide synthesis. The chapter is divided into two main sections First the most common insoluble and soluble resins applied in oligosaccharide synthesis are reviewed and then the different types of linkers applied in oligosaccharide synthesis are summerized. Two subsections are dedicated to ionic liquids (Section 20.3.3), representing a special case of soluble resins , and magnetic parhcles (Section 20.2.3), which are considered a relatively new concept of insoluble solid supports.
