Carbohydr Res. 2023 Oct:532:108915. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2023.108915. Epub 2023 Aug 9.

Abstract

Novel synthetic methods published since 2005 affording carbohydrates containing sulfur atom(s) are reviewed. The review is divided to subchapters based on the position of sulfur atom(s) in the sugar molecule. Only those methods that take advantage of substitution are discussed.

Keywords: Glycosyl thiol; Thioglycoside; Thiosaccharide; Thiosugar bioconjugate.
