An efficient glycosylation of carboxylic acids 2a-p has been developed employing 2-deoxyglycosyl phosphorodithioates 1a-h as glycosyl donors and Ag+ salts as activators. In the case of aliphatic acids the method is highly β-stereoselective. Stereoselectivity of glycosylation of aromatic acids depends on their structure. The α/β ratio is temperature dependent. Hydroxy groups in α-hydroxycarboxylic acids are not affected by glycosylation under the reaction conditions used.
