Abstract
A concise and totally synthetic route involving the merger of a fully deprotected glycosylamine and a minimally protected aspartic acid containing peptide has enabled the homogeneous N-linked glycopeptide 1 to be synthesized. The other key conversions in the synthesis are the progression from glycal to free oligosaccharide hemiacetal and subsequent amination with high efficiency.

- 22 Since our yield is far from quantitative, we cannot rule out the possibility of aspartimide formation, or even products arising from N-acylation by the α-carboxy group of the Asn residue via such an intermediate. This same issue, which can be raised with respect to the previous cases,[21] requires further detailed study.
