Methods for Anomeric Carbon-Linked and Fused Sugar Amino Acid Synthesis:  The Gateway to Artificial Glycopeptides

Having solved over the last 30 years or so the majority of the problems associated with the stereocontrolled synthesis of natural O-oligosaccharides and O-glycoconjugates with a substantial beneficial effect on glycobiology, in recent times organic chemists have been focusing more interest upon the development of synthetic procedures for unnatural carbon-linked analogues. Various synthetic procedures to C-glycosyl amino acids have been developed to date.
