Two glycosyl partners were first coupled with as ester linkage, which upon reductive acetylation produced an α-acetoxy ether group. The subsequent activation with TfOH triggered the ring-closing process and provided the corresponding glycosidic bond in high β-selectivity without relying on neighboring group participation.
