Volume forty of Carbohydrate Chemistry: Chemical and organic Approaches demonstrates the significance of the glycosciences for innovation and societal growth. Carbohydrates are molecules with crucial roles in biology and in addition function renewable assets for the iteration of latest chemical compounds and fabrics. Honouring Professor André Lubineau’s reminiscence, this quantity resembles a different selection of contributions within the fields of eco-friendly and low-carbon chemistry, cutting edge man made method and layout of carbohydrate architectures for medicinal and organic chemistry.

Green technique is illustrated by means of money owed at the business improvement of water-promoted reactions (C-glycosylation, cycloadditions) and the layout of eco-friendly approaches and synthons in the direction of sugar-based surfactants and fabrics. The specifically not easy modifications on the anomeric middle are awarded in numerous contributions on glycosylation methodologies utilizing iron or gold catalysis, electrochemical or enzymatic (thio)glycosylation, exo-glycal chemistry and bioengineering of carbohydrate synthases. Then, synthesis and constitution of multivalent and supramolecular oligosaccharide architectures are mentioned and relating to their actual homes and alertness strength, e.g. for deepening our realizing of organic methods, reminiscent of enzymatic pathways or bacterial adhesion, and layout of antibacterial, antifungal and leading edge anticancer vaccines or drugs.
