Abstract: Condensation of penta-O-acetyl-α-xylobiosyl bromide with Me 2,3-anhydro-β-D-ribopyranoside followed by deacetylation afforded Me 2,3-anhydro-4-O-[4-O-(β-D-xylopyranosyl)-β-D-xylopyranosyl]-β-D-ribopyranoside. Subsequent alk. hydrolysis gave cryst., hitherto unknown Me β-xylotrioside which on methylation yielded cryst. heptamethyl ether and on acetylation a cryst. hepta-O-acetate. The same acetyl deriv. was isolated from the reaction of penta-O-acetyl-α-xylobiosyl bromide with Me 2,3-di-O-acetyl-β-D-xylopyranoside.
