ChemInform Abstract: Why Are the Hydroxy Groups of Partially Protected N-Acetylglucosamine Derivatives Such Poor Glycosyl Acceptors, and What Can Be Done about It? A Comparative Study of the Reactivity of N-Acetyl-, N-Phthalimido-, and 2-azido-2-deoxy-glucosamine Derivatives in Glycosylation. 2-Picolinyl Ethers as Reactivity-Enhancing Replacements for Benzyl Ethers.
