title: Synthesis of fish antifreeze neoglycopeptides using microwave-assisted "click chemistry".
abstract: Microwave-enhanced click glycoconjugation of a propargylated alpha-GalNAc sugar moiety with an azido-functionalized amino acid or multiazido-functionalized peptides using a catalytic quantity of Cu(I) enabled a high-yielding and rapid synthesis of a "Tn-antigen mimic" and click analogues of antifreeze glycopeptides, thus demonstrating a valuable synthetic platform for the synthesis of biologically relevant neoglycopeptides.
