This invention presents a novel and efficient process for synthesizing 6-deoxy-L-idoside from L-Rhamnose. The process involves a series of regioselective protections, triflation, and nucleophilic displacement reactions to transform L-rhamnose into valuable 6-deoxy-L-sugar derivatives like 6-deoxy-L-idoside.
