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.
