Methyl 4-O-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl) and methyl 4-O-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl)-α-D-glucopyranoside and their 6-O-isomers were prepared as model substances for the ether lignin-saccharide bond by reductive cleavage of corresponding 4,6-O-benzylidene derivatives. Kinetic study of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the compounds prepared was carried out by spectrophotometric determination of the benzyl alcoholic groups set free, after their reaction with quinonemonochloroimide, and it showed the low stability of the p-hydroxybenzyl ether bond.

The improved solubility of methyl S-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-thio-α-D-altropyranoside (1) in liquid ammonia diluted with 1,2-dimethoxyethane has permitted the selective cleavage by metallic sodium or lithium of the C—S bond to give methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-thio-α-D-altropyranoside in 70–75% yield. On the other hand, the slight solubility of I in liquid ammonia alone results only in the completely hydrogenolyzed material, methyl 2-thio-α-D-altropyranoside, along with unchanged I.Generally, in liquid ammonia alone, reductive cleavage is rapid (15–20 min) and the benzylidene and benzyl groups are converted largely into toluene accompanied by a small amount of bibenzyl. In liquid ammonia – 1,2-dimethoxyethane mixtures the reaction is much slower (≥ 1.5 h); under these conditions the benzylidene and benzyl groups are converted to a larger extent into bibenzyl, the rest becoming toluene.The two strong infrared absorption bands (in Nujol) in the region of 766 to 778 cm−1 and 706 to 718 cm−1 have been assigned to the phenyl moiety of the benzylidene group, and the one strong band in the region of 702 cm−1 to the phenyl moiety of the S-benzyl group.

When methyl S-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-3-O-methyl-2-thio-α-d-altropyranoside (VI) in liquid ammonia was treated with metallic sodium, a reductive cleavage occurred to give methyl 3-O-methyl-2-thio-α-d-altropyranoside in an 85% yield. In the solvent 1,2-dimethoxy-ethane, the reaction of sodium with VI gave little, if any, reductive cleavage. Instead, a base-catalyzed elimination of methanol took place to give the two olefins methyl,S-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-2,3-didehydro-3-deoxy-2-thio-α-d-erythro-hexopyranoside (IX) and S-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-l,2-didehydro-1-deoxy-3-O-methyl-2-thio-d-ribo-hexopyranose (X). Under the alkaline reaction conditions, IX isomerized partly to a third olefin, methyl.S-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-3,4-didehydro-3-deoxy-2-thio-α-d-erythro(threo)-hexopyranoside (XI).In the mixed solvent liquid ammonia and 1,2-dimethoxyethane, sodium reacted with VI to give a 33% yield of the 2,3-olefin IX. Other products, no doubt present, were not isolated in this experiment.Three analogous olefins were obtained from the reaction of sodium or basic reagents with methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-3-O,S-dimethyl-2-thio-α-d-altropyranoside (VIa) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane.
