Abstract
Peptides bearing an acryloyl residue at their N‐terminus were coupled with various C‐glycosides in an equimolar ratio via cross‐metathesis. The newly formed olefin was obtained with high E/Z selectivity in satisfying to high yields with low homodimerization of the starting materials. The posttranslational cross‐metathesis approach was shown to be suitable for the combinatorial synthesis of a small library of C‐glycopeptides.
