Abstract
This paper introduces a facile and efficient catalytic glycosylation employing glycosyl *ortho*-2,2-dimethoxycarbonylcyclopropylbenzoates (CCBz) promoted by a scandium(III) catalyst. The glycosylation reaction involves a novel activation mode driven by ring-strain release of an intramolecular donor-acceptor cyclopropane (DAC). The versatile glycosyl CCBz donor enables efficient construction of O-, S-, and N-glycosidic bonds under mild conditions, demonstrated by the synthesis of chitooligosaccharide derivatives and a gram-scale synthesis of a Lipid IV tetrasaccharide.
