Chemical Glycosylation Reactions
2.13 Miscellaneous Uses of NPGs
The versatility of NPGs has been further enhanced by chemical modifications of the pent-4enyl moiety itself. In this context, the pentenyl moiety has been transformed in many spacer
functionalities [149,150], used as a handle to incorporate amino-acid moieties [151,152,153,
154], used as a monomer in copolymerization strategies [155,156,157], used in the formation
of dendrimers [158], and converted to dimeric and trimeric structures for multivalent presentations [159,160]. These applications fall beyond the scope of this chapter.
2.14 Preparation of NPGs
NPGs, being normal O-glycosides, can be readily obtained by application of the standard
procedures for preparing such derivatives [12]. They can be obtained by Fischer glycosida⊡ Scheme 45
