title: Microwave-assisted glycosylation for the synthesis of glycopeptides.
abstract: An efficient one-step synthesis of O-linked glycosylamino acids is described. This methodology converts commercially available peracetylated mono- and disaccharides activated by cheap and environmentally safe FeCl(3) under microwave irradiation with Fmoc-Ser-OBn to the corresponding beta-glycosides in short reaction times and moderate yields.
