concise, diversity‐oriented approach for the synthesis of naturally occurring 3‐amino‐ and 3‐nitro‐2,3,6‐trideoxypyranose derivatives and analogues thereof from simple sugars has been developed. In addition, we investigated the synthesis of various 3‐aminoglycosyl donors and their application in glycosylation reactions. These studies led to the successful synthesis of a tetrasaccharide containing four different
