• The large number of biology majors and prehealth students enrolled in Organic Chemistry makes it desirable to have laboratories that involve biologically interesting molecules. Although many laboratory manuals contain sections on carbohydrate chemistry, the experiments are typically limited to esterification or hydrolysis reactions. A recent publication (Toshima, K.; Ishizuka, T.; Matsuo, G.; Nakata, M. Synlett. 1995, 306. ) on the glycosidation of glycals offered a different possibility.
