Title: Straightforward glycosylation of alcohols and amino acids mediated by ionic liquids Authors : Olivier Monasson, Gwenaëlle Sizun-Thomé , Nadége Lubin-Germain, Jacques Uziel, Jacques Augé

The objective of the study was to to find an alternative strategy for glycosylation of alcohols and amino acids with the use of ionic liquids to decrease the activity of water in glycosidasecatalyzed transglycosylation. The researchers are also trying to find a reusable ionic liquid in the chemical process for the synthesis of glycopropanolsides of synthetic importance. The title of the paper precisely stated the subject of the journal and the manner of the sequencing of the statements in the introduction leads to the objective of the study in the paper.

The methods that were used in the study are valid and appropriate for the experiment the researchers carried out. They can also be duplicated because the step by step process of each method was stated in the paper with clarity. The experimental design they used was appropriate to the objective of their study because they were able to have a productive flow of the subsequent methods involved. Some of the information they used were from their related readings. As what I’ve mentioned earlier the methods’ step by step process were stated very clear so, it is no longer advisable to subdivide them. The text complement the data presented in the tables and illustrations. The content of the tables and illustrations is accurately described by the title. The column heading and labels are all accurate when it comes to their content. The data in the representations that were used can be readily interpreted and there were also no discrepancies between the text and tables. The discussion doesn’t just repeat the results but explains it. The interpretation also emerged logically from the data they gathered. Compared to the related studies, the researchers are after for an eco-friendly glycosylation by using reusable ionic liquid. The authors’ did not suggest any further work in their study.

The topic and format are appropriate for the journal. The summary of the article in the abstract is concise and clear and much importantly it is accurate. The subdivision of the materials is logically organized under appropriate heading and paragraphs. Moreover, the researchers were able to present the study they did in a clear and logical manner.
