title: Combinatorial syntheses of sugar derivatives.
abstract: There has been an exponential growth in interest of the functional roles of carbohydrates and cell surface glycoconjugates in the past 10 years. The importance of glycoconjugates as mediators of biosignals has stimulated investigation into simple and versatile methods for their synthesis. The synthesis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates by combinatorial chemistry has gained considerable interest.
