Two methods for the stereoselective ß-formylation at the anomeric carbon of three saccharides are described. In Method A the formyl group is introduced on the starting lactone by a dithiane ring which, after stereospecific reductive dehydroxylation, is hydrolysed to generate the ß-glycosyl aldehyde. In Method B the aldehyde is prepared by introduction of phenylacetylene followed by stereospecific reductive dehydroxylation, partial hydrogenation and subsequent ozonolysis.
