In only three or four steps glycosylated dipeptide and tripeptide fragments, respectively (see scheme), can be obtained from hydroxy amino acids by using a novel protecting group/activation concept. The method presented is even superior to the pentafluorophenyl ester method.

O-Glycosylated hexafluoroacetone-protected amino acid derivatives have been synthesized starting from serine, threonine, 4-hydroxyproline and tyrosine. They represent a new class of building blocks suitable for a divergent approach to O-glycopeptides.
