Abstract

A critical branch point in mucin-type oligosaccharides is the β1→ 3 glycosidic linkage to the core α-N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residue. We report here a strategy for the synthesis of O-linked glycopeptide analogues that replaces this linkage with a thioether amenable to construction by chemoselective ligation. The key building block was a 2-azido-3- thiogalactose-Thr analogue that was incorporated into a peptide by ...
