title: Facile synthesis of N-Fmoc-serine-S-GlcNAc: a potential molecular probe for the functional study of O-GlcNAc.
abstract: A metabolically stable beta-N-acetylglucosaminyl-1-thio-N-Fmoc-serine (S-GlcNAc-Ser) derivative was synthesized in two procedures: one involving a coupling of a readily obtainable 1-pseudo-thiourea of GlcNAc (S-GlcNAc) and iodo-N-Boc-L-alanine benzyl ester, and the other utilizing a modified Mitsunobu reaction of GlcNAc-SH and a serine derivative.
