This manuscript describes a single pot protocol for the selective introduction of unprotected sugars to the C3 position of the cardiotonic steroid strophanthidol. These reactions proceed with high levels of regiocontrol (>20:1 rr) in the presence of three other hydroxyl functionalities including the C19 primary hydroxyl group and could be applied to different sugars to provide the deprotected cardiac glycosides upon work up (5 examples, 77–69% yield per single operation). The selective glycosylation of the less reactive C3 position is accomplished by the use of traceless protection with methylboronic acid that blocks the C5 and C19 hydroxyls by forming a cyclic boronic ester, followed by in situ glycosylation and a work up with ammonia in methanol to remove the boronic ester and the carbohydrate ester protecting groups.
