Application

Methyl β-D-xylopyranoside has been used in a study to assess tetraisopropyldisiloxane-1,3-diyl as a versatile protecting group for pentopyranosides. It has also been used in a study that investigated transacetylations to carbohydrates catalyzed by acetylxylan esterase in the presence of an organic solvent.

Four modified substrates for acetylxylan esterases, 2-deoxy, 3-deoxy, 2-deoxy-2-fluoro, and 3-deoxy-3-fluoro derivatives of di-O-acetylated methyl beta-D-xylopyranoside were synthesized via 2,3-anhydropentopyranoside precursors. Methyl 2,3-anhydro-4-O-benzyl-beta-D-ribopyranoside was transformed into methyl 2,3-anhydro-4-O-benzyl-beta-D-lyxopyranoside in three steps. The epoxide ring opening of 2,3-anhydropentopyranosides was accomplished either

The protecting group tetraisopropyldisiloxane-1,3-yl has been investigated for simultaneous protection of two hydroxyls on pentopyranosides. Methyl α-D-xylopyranoside is protected in excellent regioselectivity and high yield to form the 2,3-protected xylopyranoside whereas methyl β-D-xylopyranoside gives the 3,4-protected product also with excellent

Streptomyces lividans acetylxylan esterase removes the 2- or 3-O-acetyl groups from methyl 2,4-di-O-acetyl- and 3,4-di-O-acetyl beta-D-xylopyranoside. When the free hydroxyl group was replaced with a hydrogen or fluorine, the rate of deacetylation was markedly reduced, but regioselectivity was not affected.
