Synthesis of carbasugar-containing non-glycosidically linked pseudodisaccharides and higher pseudooligosaccharides Review Article

This minireview covers synthetic methods towards carbasugar-containing non-glycosidically linked pseudodisaccharides or higher pseudooligosaccharides. Carbocyclic pyranose mimetics (saturated or unsaturated between C-5 and C-5a) are linked by ether, thioether or amine bridges to carbohydrates or other carbasugars.
