title: The use of cyclic bifunctional protecting groups in oligosaccharide synthesis--an overview.
abstract: A historical overview is presented on stereo-directing effects of cis- and trans-fused diol protective groups used on both donor and acceptor glycosides. Attention is focused on the use of cyclic carbonates and carbamates, diacetals and acetals and finally the special case of 1,2-O-orthoesters and 1,2-O-cyanoalkylidene functionalised residues.
