A highly efficient and cost‐effective green method for the synthesis of complex glycopeptides and ureas mediated by carbonyl diimidazole under solvent‐free conditions is reported. The reactions could be performed conveniently in a planetary ball mill by dry grinding, and the isolation of the novel sugar derivatives thus produced could be very efficiently achieved by size exclusion chromatography with environmentally benign substances. A diacetone galactose based diamide, upon crystallization, could be examined by X‐ray crystallography and was found to possess a heart‐shaped structure. Although the 4‐aminophenyl galactoside based diamide synthesized formed spherical particles, the alanine‐based diamide formed nanofilamentous/‐tubular structures as analyzed by TEM imaging.
