Summary of main observation and conclusionAn effective approach relying on a Lewis acid‐ or Brønsted acid‐assisted gold(I)‐catalyzed glycosylation has been reported in the synthesis of a panel of the representative natural spirostanol saponins, namely polyphyllin D (1), polyphyllin V (2), dioscin (3), formosanin C (4), and a derivative of polyphyllin D bearing a terminal azide group (5). This approach highlights the engagement of low loadings of Ph3AuPOTf (≤ 0.5 mol%) in the presence of Ga(OTf)3, In(OTf)3, or HOTf (~10mol%) as a co‐catalyst, at practical reaction rates as an alternative to the conventional ~10 mol% loadings of the gold(I) catalyst in the glycosylation. Polyphyllin D (1) was obtained in 41% overall yield over six steps compared to the maximum 30% yield in previous syntheses where conventional donors and promoters were used. By exploiting a regioselective rhamnosylation, a “one‐pot” approach was adopted to assemble1and5, thus further strengthening the efficiency of the gold(I)‐catalyzed glycosylation.
