Synthetic methods: Part (iii) protecting groups

Abstract

Another excellent and comprehensive 'update' review of protecting group (PG) strategies in organic synthesis has appeared this year. Additionally, a focused review of advances in glycopolymer synthesis highlighting advances in PG/activating group methodology has been published. Furthermore, the role of molecularly imprinted polymers in synthetic chemistry has been overviewed, including their use for directing regioselective acylation of polyhydroxysteroids.
