Abstract: 0-Linked glycopeptides have been efficiently synthesized using the highly nucleophilic a-imino esters (O'Donnell's Schiff bases) derived from L-serine (hc), L-threonine (4a, b), and a dipeptide ester (5). General methodology has been developed which can provide 8-glycosides of 8-hydroxy-a-amino acid derivatives 6-16 in excellent yield (63-94%) and excellent selectivity (> 20: 1) using Hanessian's modification or Helferich's ...
