Abstract
A versatile method for the synthesis of orthogonally protected d-xylose 1-thioethers is described using unusual silyl group migrations which were pivotal in the synthesis of 4,8-dimethyl-6-<i>O</i>-(2′,4′-di-<i>O</i>-methyl-β-d-xylopyranosyl)hydroxyquinoline confirming the structure and absolute configuration of the natural product
