Modern Methods in Carbohydrate Synthesis
_________________________________________________________________
This book presents in one volume a sequence of chapters leading
from classical methods through today's newest state-of-the-art
technology for oligosaccharide synthesis. It places particular
emphasis on the most recent breakthroughs in the field, including
emerging technologies for both oligosaccharide and glycoconjugate
synthesis. Chapters describing the synthesis of the increasingly
important glycosidic linkage analogs, as well as of
oligosaccharides containing derivatives and analogs of natural
sugars are included. Enzymatic synthesis, also covering combined
chemical and enzymatic synthesis, is also included. Chapters are
written by the leading experts in the field. Wherever possible,
methods of synthesis are provided in sufficient detail to allow
the reader to implement the techniques described. More than 1700
references are provided in the 21 chapters comprising the book.
This volume should provide a wealth of information to a large
number of synthetic organic chemists, medicinal chemists, protein
chemists, biochemists, glycobiologists and cell biologists,
including students in these fields.

I am looking for a good textbook in carbohydrate chemistry.
Can anybody give me a good tip?
Thanks in advance,
Achim
