	abstract = {The application of the hyperactive glycosynthase derived from Agrobacterium sp. beta-glucosidase (AbgE358G-2F6) to the synthesis of xylo-oligosaccharides by using alpha-D-xylopyranosyl fluoride as donor represents the first successful use of glycosynthase technology for xylosyl transfer. Transfer to beta-nitrophenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside yields di- and trisaccharide products with beta-(1 -> 4) linkages in 63\% and 35\% yields, respectively. By contrast, transfer to p-nitrophenyl P-D-xylopyranoside yielded the beta-(1 -> 3) linked disaccharide and beta-D-Xyl-(1 -> 4)-beta-D-Xyl-(1 -> 3)-beta-D-Xyl-pNP as major products in 42\% and 30\% yields, respectively. Transfer of xylose to beta-D-Xyl-(1 -> 4)-beta-D-Xyl-pNP yielded the beta-(1 -> 4) linked trisaccharide in 98\% yield, thereby indicating that transfers to xylo-disaccharides occur with formation of beta-(1 -> 4) bonds. Xylosylation of carbamate-protected deoxyxylonojirimycin produced a mixture of di- and tri-{\textquoteright}saccharide{\textquoteright} products in modest yields. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
