β-D-Ribonucleosides are stereoselectively synthesized in high yields from methyl 2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl carbonate and trimethylsilylated nucleoside bases by the use of [diphenyltin sulfide/silver salt] or [Lawesson's reagent/silver salt] combined catalyst system under mild conditions.
