Abstract: Benzylation of benzyl 2,3-anhydro-β-D-ribopyranoside with benzyl bromide and NaH in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, followed by treatment of the formed, corresponding 4-O-benzyl deriv. with benzyl alcoholate anion in benzyl alc., gave benzyl 3,4-di-O-benzyl-β-D-xylopyranoside. The foregoing compd. was treated with 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-α-D-xylopyranosyl bromide to give fully substituted (1→2)-linked xylobioses (combined yield 87%, α:β = 1:6.4) which, after removal of blocking groups, afforded 2-O-α- and β-D-xylopyranosyl-D-xylose.
