Book Synopsis Carbohydrate Chemistry by : R. J. Ferrier
Download or read book Carbohydrate Chemistry written by R. J. Ferrier. This book was released on 1991. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation A review of the literature published in 1989 on mono- and oligosaccharide chemistry--illustrating continuing general advances on all fronts with strong emphasis on the development of synthetic methods and their application to problems with origins in biology. Many examples of this are given in the sections on oligosaccharides, nucleosides and antibiotics, while the role of carbohydrate chemistry in general organic chemistry is well illustrated by the many complex conversions of sugar derivatives into enantiomerically pure natural substances of a non-carbohydrate nature. Once again, however, biological issues--in this case medicinal--are commonly the driving forces behind the work. Acidic paper. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
