Abstract: A needle guard grip device may include a body extending from a first end to a second end along a central longitudinal axis of the body. The body may include a plurality of ribs extending perpendicularly to the central longitudinal axis. The plurality of ribs may include a first set of longitudinally spaced ribs disposed on a first side of the central longitudinal axis, and a second set of longitudinally spaced ribs disposed on a second side of the central longitudinal axis that is opposite of the first side. Moving along the central longitudinal axis, ribs of the first set of longitudinally spaced ribs may alternate with ribs of the second set of longitudinally spaced ribs.

Abstract: A method for forming a glycosidic linkage by: (a) contacting a glycoside bearing an anomeric sulfoxide group with a compound bearing a free hydroxyl group in the presence of an organic acid anhydride and a scavenger of sulfenyl esters; and (b) allowing a glycosylation reaction to proceed under conditions effective to produce the glycosidic linkage. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the glycoside bearing an anomeric sulfoxide group is added to a mixture of the other reactants. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, a Lewis acid is also present in the reaction mixture. This invention is further directed to a method for forming a glycosidic linkage by: (a) forming a solution comprising: a compound bearing a free hydroxyl group, and an organic acid anhydride; (b) adding to the solution a glycoside bearing an anomeric sulfoxide group; and (c) allowing a glycosylation reaction to proceed under conditions effective to produce the glycosidic linkage.
