Features: Sugar is another type of very important life substance, next to proteins and nucleic acids. Sugar chemistry holds a significant position and wide application in life sciences and pharmaceutical research. This book takes sugar compounds as the main focus, systematically and comprehensively introducing various aspects of sugar chemistry: classification, nomenclature, structure, properties, as well as chemical modification, synthesis, and isolation/purification. It also proposes new concepts, theories, and methods related to sugar compounds. The book compiles the latest research findings from domestic and international sugar chemistry studies, highlighting the two core issues of sugar synthesis and structural identification, providing detailed and thorough explanations of experimental methods and techniques. The book focuses on the chemical aspects and is highly practical, with each chapter including numerous examples and operational methods, along with collected experimental data and figures. It can serve as a graduate textbook for organic chemistry, natural product chemistry, sugar chemistry, and pharmaceutical chemistry majors, as well as a reference book for undergraduate students in related fields. It also helps professionals gain scientific knowledge in sugar chemistry and sugar biology.
