Glycopeptides glycopolymers

Sallas, F, Nishimura, S-I, Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of glycopolymers and sequential glycopeptides hearing lactosamine and sialyl Lewis unit pendant chains, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1, 2091-2103, 2000. 

A library of 50 glycosylamines has been prepared directly from the corresponding unprotected mono- and oligosaccharides. These unprotected glycosylamines are used as intermediates in the synthesis of a number of glycoconjugates such as surfactants, glycopeptides or glycopolymers. 

Glycosyl azides are an important family of carbohydrate derivatives. They have been used as precursors of glycopeptides and heterocyclic M-glycosides. The corresponding glycosylamines, which can be obtained by reduction of the azide group, can be used as precursors to glycopolymers or hyper-branched dendrimers, after A-acryloylation. Furthermore, azide functionalities can be easily converted into...
