A convergent synthesis for erythropoietin (EPO) 1‐28 N‐glycopeptide hydrazides was developed. In this approach, EPO peptides were synthesized on the solid phase and converted to C‐terminal after cleavage from resin. After selective deprotection of Asp24 side chain, desired glycosylamine coupled by pseudoproline‐assisted Lansbury aspartylation. Although initial yields glycopeptides satisfactory, they could be markedly improved increasing purity peptide using a reversed‐phase high‐performance...
