Regioselective acylation of cyclomalto-oligosaccharides was achieved using pivaloyl and diphenylacetyl chlorides. The reaction of cyclomaltohexaose (1) with pivaloyl chloride gave the hexakis(2,6-di-O-pivaloyl) derivative 19 in 66% yield. Similar reaction with cyclomalto-heptaose (2) led to the octakis(2I,6I,6II,6III,6IV,6V,6VI ,6VII-O-pivaloyl) 26 and the
