Recent developments in oligosaccharide synthesis
Davis BG.
Latest developments in oligosaccharide synthesis was discussed. The use of a highly reactive para-methoxybenzylated phenyl sulfoxide donor with high β-selectivity was described. A truncated yeast β(1,4)-mannosyltransferase was expressed in E.Coli. Reduction of the azido group in the intermediate products allowed reaction with a number of acylating agents.
