✦ Synopsis
Certain artifacts in the glycosyl-linkage analysis of oligoglycosyl alditols were shown to be caused by oxidation of the alditol moieties when 0-methylation was catalyzed by NaOH in Me,SO. The partially methylated alditol acetates derived from I-[*HI-cellobiitol that was 0-methylated by this method were analyzed in detail to confirm this conclusion.
