Carbohydrate Coatings via Aryldiazonium Chemistry for Surface Biomimicry

Bifunctional dendrons for multiple carbohydrate presentation via carbonyl chemistry

The synthesis of new dendrons of the generations 0, 1 and 2 with a double bond at the focal point and a carbonyl group at the termini has been carried out. The carbonyl group has been exploited for the multivalent conjugation to a sample saccharide by reductive amination and alkoxyamine conjugation.

Azides in Carbohydrate Chemistry

The fi rst az.ide-contain ing sugar, a glycosyl azide. was reponed in 1930 by Bertho. j Since that lime various methods have been developed for the introduction of azides at d ifferent positions of sugars. A survey of available methods is given in Section 16.2. Unlillhc lale I 970s, azidcs contai ned in carbohydrate deri vatives were simply used as accessible syn-thons [or amities because of th...

Food Carbohydrate Chemistry

The reactions of sugars that are critical in food science applications can be organized into a few general types of reactions that are heavily influenced by pH. Although there are a few exceptions, most of these reactions occur under the relatively mild conditions that prevail during processing and storage. This chapter will not address reactions of chemical synthesis and sugar structure proof....

Modulation of Protein Fouling and Interfacial Properties at Carbon Surfaces via Immobilization of Glycans Using Aryldiazonium Chemistry.

Carbon materials and nanomaterials are of great interest for biological applications such as implantable devices and nanoparticle vectors, however, to realize their potential it is critical to control formation and composition of the protein corona in biological media. In this work, protein adsorption studies were carried out at carbon surfaces functionalized with aryldiazonium layers bearing m...
