Abstract

The hydroxyl groups of phenols and alcohols, including sugar alcohols, may be activated to make them more susceptible to glycosylation, but frequently activation is not formally carried out before such substitution. The present review considers methods that can be used to bring about hydroxyl group activation and thereby to facilitate glycosylation.
