Abstract: Benzylation of Me 2,3-anhydro-β-D-ribopyranoside with PhCH₂Br and NaH in (MeOCH₂)₂ gave Me 2,3-anhydro-4-O-benzyl-β-D-ribopyranoside in high yield. Alk. hydrolysis followed by acetylation of the formed Me 4-O-benzyl-β-D-xylopyranoside, and cleavage of the benzyl group by hydrogenolysis gave cryst. Me 2,3-di-O-acetyl-β-D-xylopyranoside.
