The hemicellulose isolated by direct alkaline extraction of the wood has been shown to be a 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronoxylan. Methylation data indicate a backbone of approximately 110 D-xylopyranose units linked by β, 1 → 4 bonds with single units of 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid linked by α, 1 → 2 bonds. The proportion of acid units to xylose is approximately 1:7. 2,3-Di-O-methyl-D-lyxose was isolated as an artifact.

The hemicellulose isolated by direct alkaline extraction of the wood has been shown to be a 4-O-methylglucuronoxylan. Methylation data indicate a backbone of approximately 120 D-xylopyranose units linked by β, 1—4 bonds with single units of 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid linked by α, 1—2 bonds. The proportion of acid units to xylose is approximately 1:6. Two artifacts were isolated from the hydrolysis products of the methylated polysaccharide: 4-O-(2,3-di-O-methyl-α-D-xylopyranosyl)-2,3-di-O-methyl-D-xylose and 2,3-di-O-methyl-D-lyxose.

Alkaline extraction of spear grass holocellulose gave a xylan which was purified by fractional precipitation as a copper complex. Acid hydrolysis yielded L-arabinose, D-xylose, and an aldobiouronic acid consisting of D-xylose and 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid. Hydrolysis of the methylated xylan gave 2,3,5-tri-O-methyl-L- arabinose, 2,3,4-tri-, 2,3-di-, and 2-O-methyl-D-xylose, and 3-O-methyl-2-O-(2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid)-D-xylose. The conditions for isolation of the methylated sugars for gas chromatography were investigated with particular reference to difficulties arising from volatility of the tri-O-methyl pentoses. The xylan is composed of chains of 1,4-linked �-D-xylopyranose residues to which are attached single units of L-arabinofuranose at position 3 and 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid at position 2 of the basal residues.
