COMBI CARBS Seeberger and coworkers are developing an automated parallel synthesis of heparin-like glycosaminoglycans. Each of four glucosamines is added to a glucuronic or iduronic acid, forming eight disaccharides. The disaccharides are modified and combined, and the resulting oligosaccharides are deprotected and sulfated.
