✦ Synopsis

Some di-and poly-saccharides containing arabinosyl and xylosyl residues have been methylated and then subjected to reductive-cleavage with triethylsilane in the presence of either trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate or boron trifluoride etherate and trimethylsilyl methanesulfonate. The products were converted into the partially methylated anhydroalditol acetates and analysed by g.1.c. and g.l.c.-m.s. The results demonstrate that the reductive-cleavage method is an attractive alternative to methylation analysis in determining the structure of polysaccharides containing pentosyl residues.
