	In N-linked glycopeptides 4, the asparagine carboxamide is glycosylated with a conserved (high mannose) pentasaccharide core structure.
	Within the cellular context, this linkage is generated via glycosylation of the asparagine amide side-chain, while a common chemical synthesis approach involves peptide-bond formation between a glycosylamine 2 and the side-chain carboxylate of a uniquely disposed aspartate 3.
	In many cases, the requisite glycosylamine 2 is generated via standard Kochetkov-Lansbury amination (NH O, 25° C) from the globally deprotected parent saccharide 1, featuring a free anomeric hydroxyl-group.
