We describe a novel peptide ligation/desulfurization strategy using a β-mercapto-N-
glycosylated asparagine derivative. The newly developed procedure was successfully
applied to the total chemical synthesis of the GM2 ganglioside activator protein bearing a
monosaccharide on the native glycosylation site.
