Abstract: 2-0-Benzyl- and 3-0-benzyl-D-xylose, intermediates bearing nonmigratory substituents important in carbohydrate syntheses, have been prepared. Treatment of these with methanolic hydrogen chloride gave crystalline methyl glycopyranosides, which, upon methylation and removal of the blocking groups, yielded 2,4-di-O-methyl- and 3,4-di-O-methyl-D-xylopyranose.
