Automated Synthesis of Oligosaccharides

Posted on December 20, 2011 by Marv

The automated synthesis of oligosachharides is a topic that we’ve devoted quite a bit of time on here at F-Blog.  This is largely due to the efforts of Prof. Nicola Pohl’s group who have pioneered the use of fluorous tags … Continue reading →

Fluorous Protecting Groups in Oligosaccharide Synthesis

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Marv

The regular reader of F-Blog will know that the fluorous-assisted synthesis of oligosaccharides is one of the best applications of fluorous techniques.  Fluorous tags and separations, primarily fluorous solid phase extraction (FSPE), have been used in a number of different … Continue reading →

Fluorous Mixture Synthesis of Cucurbitosides

Posted on September 15, 2011 by Marv

In 2008 the Takeuchi group at Niigata University reported the total synthesis of cucurbitoside A, one of a series partially acylated phenolic glycosides.  The cucurbitosides are found in the seeds of squashes and pumpkins of the genus Cucurbita.  Water extracts … Continue reading →

Reverse Orthogonal Oligosaccharide Synthesis

Posted on September 7, 2011 by Marv

A just published Advance Article in Chemical Communications from Prof. Alexei Demchenko at the Univ of Missouri-St. Louis describes a strategy for oligosaccharide construction using what they term a reverse orthogonal strategy.  As we have noted here in F-Blog, and … Continue reading →
