As part of an effort to probe the mechanism by which glycosyltransferases recognize glycoproteins and assemble the core structures of O-linked oligosaccharides, constrained glycopeptides, compounds 2 and 3, based on the α-N-acetylgalactosaminyl serine substructure 1, were designed. In this paper we describe a stereoselective preparation of protected versions of these compounds. A pig liver esterase-catalyzed enzymatic desymmetrization of a diacetate substrate, 10, was employed as a key component in the synthesis.
