A facile synthesis route toward beta-linked mannuronic acid oligomers using the corresponding 1-thiomannuronic acid esters in combination with the Ph2SO/Tf2O or NIS/TMSOTf reagent combinations is presented. The presence of the remotely attached carboxylic ester sufficiently influences the electronic environment to allow good to excellent beta-selectivities.
