Oligosaccharide-peptide ligation of glycosyl thiolates with dehydropeptides: synthesis of S-linked mucin-related glycopeptide conjugates.

A chemoselective strategy for oligosaccharide-peptide ligation is described in which alpha-thio analogues of mucin-related glycoconjugates can be readily accessed through site-selective conjugate addition of complex oligosaccharide thiolates to dehydroalanine-containing peptides. The efficiency of the ligation is highlighted by the rapid convergent assembly of thio-isosteres of the four tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens, T(N), T, ST(N), and 2,6-ST, as a pair of diastereoisomers at the newly formed cysteine stereocenter. The process proceeds in high yield and with complete retention of the alpha-anomeric configuration.[1]
