All essential areas of basic synthetic carbohydrate chemistry are covered andappropriately described. In addition, this book describes correctly the basicreaction mechanisms while taking into account modern concepts such as stereoelectronic principles. Extensive references (in excess of 1,600) to the primaryliterature Concentrates on important reactions, without esoteric topics INDICE: Introduction.Stereochemistry.Representation of monosaccharides.Thenomenclature of carbohydrates.- Conformational analysis of monosaccharides.- Anomeric effect.- Isomerization of sugars.- Relative reactivity of hydroxyl groups in monosaccharides.- Cyclic acetals and ketals.- Nucleophilic displacement and the neighboring group participation.- Anhydrosugars.- Amino sugars.- Oxidation of monosaccharides.- Addition of nucleophiles to glycopyranosiduloses.-Chemistry of the glycosidic bond.- Synthesis of polychiral Natural Products from carbohydrates.- Carbohydrate based antibiotics.- Higher-carbon monosaccharides.- Author Index.- Subject Index.
