The development of efficient methods for the combinatorial
synthesis of N-glycosyl conjugates is vital for many fields of
modern synthetic organic chemistry. Herein, we report a
multicomponent domino process for the regioselective synthesis
of a large array N-glycosyl-Asp-urea conjugates,
which could be further functionalized in a chemoselective way, starting from easily accessible reactants such as N-glycosylamines,
fumaric acid monoesters, azides, and isocyanates.
The process occurs under very mild conditions, does not
require the use of strong bases/acids or high temperature,
and is highly versatile, working efficiently with a range of
protecting groups and substituents
