title: Stereoselective synthesis of L-oliose trisaccharide via iterative alkynol cycloisomerization and acid-catalyzed glycosylation.
abstract: [formula: see text] The synthesis of an all-alpha L-oliose diastereomer of digitoxin provides valuable insights into the generality and protective-group dependence of acid-catalyzed glycosylations of glycals to 2-deoxycarbohydrates.
