The p-chlorophenyl carbonate (CPC) group can be readily applied and rapidly removed in the presence of various protecting groups including pivaloyl and benzoyl esters. Additionally, the CPC group is stable under a variety of glycosylation conditions and yields solely β-linked glycosides when used as a C2 participating group.
