Synthesis of Unsaturated Monosaccharides

Another application of this process is the rapid and facile attachment of saccharides of the heparin sulfate family, glycosaminoglycans with many important biological and pharmacological properties, to glass slides derivatized with y-aminopropylsilane [68], 

By applying Ferrier s rearrangement to per-O-acetylglycals 80 (a, 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-l,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-D-arafoino-hex-l-enitol, and b, -D-Iyxo-hex-1-enitol, c, 3,4- 

The results obtained clearly show the benefits of microwave activation compared with conventional heating. 

New C-glycosylidene nitriles of special interest as carbohydrate mimics [74] have 

These C-glycosylidene nitriles were reduced to the corresponding C-glycosyl compounds with complete stereocontrol at the anomeric center.
