α-d-Fructofuranoside derivatives are prevalent in natural products, exhibiting diverse bioactivities. Herein, a stereoselective glycosylation method for synthesizing α-d-fructofuranosides using fructofuranosyl fluorides as donors is described. Glycosylation of 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-2-d-fructofuranosyl fluoride, promoted by tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane, proved highly effective, yielding glycosylation products in high yields (up to 98%) with primary alcohols, thiols, N- and C-nucleophiles. Furthermore, β-(2→6) cyclodisaccharide di-d-fructose-2,6′:6,2′-dianhydride (DFA Ⅳ), a disaccharide enzymatically derived from levan, was chemically synthesized through orthogonal glycosylation reactions and hydrogen-bond-mediated aglycone delivery involving thioglycosides and glycosyl fluorides for the first time.
