Gold(III)-catalysed glycosylation reaction has been developed by employing a new and easily accessible leaving group synthesized from ethyl cyanoacetate. Several nucleophiles like alcohols, thiols, allyltrimethylsilane, trimethylsilyl azide and triethylsilane have been reacted to make the corresponding glycosides in good yields and with marginal to excellent α-selectivity.
