The exclusive formation of the β-anomer derivatives of β-D-Manp-(1→4)-α-D-Glcp-OCH3 (9) and β-D-Manp-(1→4)-β-D-GlcNAcp-O(CH2)7CH3 (12) is shown to proceed in high yield using intramolecular aglycon delivery. The authentic α-anomers of 9 and 12 were chemically synthesized as reference standards and confirmed not to be formed in the reaction. This supports the complete stereoselective nature of this glycosylation reaction.
