The total synthesis of the carbohydrate portion (penta‐and tetrasaccharides) of steroidal saponins, isolated from Calamus insignis , is reported. A simple route is followed, starting from commercially available D ‐glucose and L ‐rhamnose, through high‐yielding protecting group manipulation strategies. Sulfuric acid immobilized on silica (H 2 SO 4 /silica) was used as an effective Brönsted acid source in conjunction with N ‐iodosuccinimide for activation of thioglycosides or alone for trichloroacetimidate donors in key glycosylation steps.
