A Breakthrough in Oligosaccharide Synthesis.

Glycosylation Methods in Oligosaccharide Synthesis

Chemical synthesis of oligosaccharide mimetics

A variety of C-disaccharides have been selectively and expeditiously synthesized through the so-called tether approach. Jntroduction . 'Oligosacch&ides are involved in a increasing number of biological processes. This has stimulated the development of selective methods for the synthesis of such complex molecules. Among others, the imidate. procedure that we have discovered (ref. l), and which h...

Solution-phase oligosaccharide synthesis in a cycloalkane-based thermomorphic system.

The cycloalkane-based thermomorphic (CBT) system is a convenient and practical method for oligosaccharide synthesis, and hydrophobically modified oligosaccharides have a remarkable affinity for CBT solutions composed of methylcyclohexane and propionitrile.

Reverse orthogonal strategy for oligosaccharide synthesis.

Herein, we report the invention of a novel expeditious concept for oligosaccharide synthesis. Unlike the classic orthogonal strategy based on leaving groups, the reverse approach is based on orthogonal protecting groups, herein p-methoxybenzyl and 4-pentenoyl, which allows for efficient oligosaccharide assembly in the reverse direction.

Vodcast: A Breakthrough in Developing Incidental Vocabulary Learning

Incidental vocabulary learning is often seen as superior to direct instruction on many occasions. Meanwhile, upon the emergence of the World Wide Web, second language (SL) learners have been introduced to 'podcasts' (recorded audio and video online broadcasts) which could be authentic sources of vocabulary learning. The relatively recent phenomenon of video podcast (vodcast) might be considered...
