Carbohydrate Chemistry. Sugars to Non-Carbohydrate Sugar Mimics. Uses for Sugars as Reagents and Starting Materials in Organic Chemistry. Total Synthesis of Sugars. Combinatorial Carbohydrate Chemistry
Daniel E. Levy, Péter Fügedi
Although almost every author notes that his or her chapter is not
an exhaustive analysis, each does provide an excellent, broad scope
of what has been done and what is possible to do within the
subfield. A must for both synthetic organic and carbohydrate
chemists…Highly recommended.”
—L.J. Liotta, CHOICE, April 2006
“The title, The Organic Chemistry of Sugars, is very appropriate
and is unique among reference works in that regard. …The book…will
prove indispensable to the practicing carbohydrate chemist and any
organic chemist who chooses to delve into the synthesis of
carbohydrate compounds.”
—David C. Baker, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol.
128, No. 42, 2006
“Numerous examples throughout the volume provide excellent
illustrative material to support the detailed information presented
in the text. In conclusion, this comprehensive volume would be
highly useful to all persons working in this area. It may not only
support research and development but also be suitable for
teaching.”
— Parmjit S. Panesar, Chembiotech Laboratories, University of
Birmingham, UK in Carbohydrate Polymers, Vol. 64, 2006
“Each chapter starts with an introduction that allows
nonspecialists to also find a way of approaching the subject.
...The contributions, all written by well-known researchers, are
well coordinated with each other and cover most aspects of
synthetic sugar chemistry. ...The content of the book is easily
accessible through the detailed table of contents as well as the
index. ...The book is highly recommended for the carbohydrate
chemist [as well as] those wishing to become one.”
— Valentin Wittmann, University of Konstanz, Germany, in Angewandte
Chemie, Vol. 45, No. 21, May 2006
“...chapters on ‘Sugars as Starting Materials in Synthesis’ and
Asymmetric Synthesis of Monosaccharides’ are well worth reading.
...Overall, this is an excellent compendium...”
— Organic Process Research & Development
“...Provides a comprehensive treatment of the manipulation of
sugars and their importance in organic chemistry.”
— International Food Information Service
“This 870-page book exclusively addresses the synthetic aspects of
carbohydrate chemistry and is a must for any practicing
carbohydrate chemist as central source of reading and reading
material. …one of the most readable and comprehensive volumes on
synthetic carbohydrate chemistry that I have read. The fact that it
pays due attention to the application(s) of carbohydrates in
mainstream organic synthesis also makes it a valuable resource for
the more classical synthetic organic chemist.”
— Biochemist e-volution
“ The Organic Chemistry of Sugars provides excellent coverage of
traditional and contemporary methods to manipulate, use, and
exploit sugar molecules. With the availability of this monograph,
the knowledge base of modern carbohydrate chemistry will be
considerably richer for the practitioners of this time-revered and
venerable branch of organic chemistry."
— Stephen Hanessian, from the Foreword
“The well-made monograph has a clear textbook style, and all
chapters are balanced in their contents. It covers the basics as
well as the cutting-edge developments in the chemistry of sugars …
it addresses a broad community of scientists, from graduate
students to more established researchers. … The book was very
carefully made: because of the large index, the reader will have no
problem in finding a specific subject; the schemes are clearly
arranged, and the numbering is systematic; … this monograph
provides an excellent entry over the recent developments as well as
frontiers in organic sugar chemistry. For the interested scientist
working in these areas and for the synthetically oriented chemist,
it will be a compulsory reading. Therefore, this valuable book will
have its definite place in every good scientific library.”
—Siegfried R. Waldvogel, Universitat Bonn, Germany, in Synthesis,
No. 3, pp 484-484, 2007
