Orthogonal protecting group strategies in carbohydrate chemistry

A large number of different sets of orthogonal protecting groups have been developed and used in carbohydrate chemistry over the last decade. These orthogonal sets are collected and summarized in this report. The ‘artificial’ classification of this review is based on the number of the protecting groups involved in the examined set.
