J Org Chem. 66:2001;8709-8716 The strength of this report lies in the demonstration of the efficacy and functional group tolerance of olefin metathesis and its utility in the ligation of highly diverse biomolecules. Furthermore, the products show promise in targeted photodynamic therapy.

Org Lett. 1:1999;1811-1814 The design of the solid-phase linker reported here implies that not only the cleavage conditions from the support are orthogonal with most conceivable functional groups, but also that the cleavage products can be used in a further glycosylation reaction. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that complex carbohydrates can be synthesised efficiently using this system.
